Simone Porter, Violinist with Accompanist

Event Details

Seattle-raised violinist, Simone Porter joins the Town of Kiawah to perform classical music accompanied by pianist Armen Guzelimian. The concert includes works from Mozart, Janacek, Pärt and Brahms. Simone Porter made her professional solo career at the age of 10; now at just 19 years old, she is internationally acclaimed and garnered worldwide attention for her command of the violin. In March 2015, Porter was one of five musicians to receive the Avery Fisher Career Grant, and on the same day, she signed her first major management deal with Opus 3 Artists. In Oct. 2015, after Simone Porter played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the LA Times stated, "Her assured, lovingly lyrical, occasionally frisky playing only confirmed what is becoming common knowledge in the musical world: that she is on the cusp of a major career."
