BSO Guest Artist Performing in State Prison
Friday October 23, 2009
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra guest pianist Simone Dinnerstein plays an usual venue this morning at 11: The Maryland Correctional Institution for Women.
The world-renowned pianist, who has played Carneige Hall and the Kennedy Center, also will answer questions from inmates/audience members after she performs works by Bach and Schubert.
It should be quite a morning for the women in the Jessup facility. Classical music and the BSO need new audiences, but I never thought they'd reach this far.
Dinnerstein and the full orchestra perform tomorrow night at the Music Center at Strathmore in Rockville. Tickets are available online.

Do you really think they are trying to recruit new audience members from prison? It’s called outreach. A philosophy of all nonprofits. Good for the BSO!
