Celebrated classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein and acclaimed singer-songwriter Tift Merritt join forces for two performances of Night, a unique collaboration in which they unite classical, folk and rock musical worlds. Night features a set of new songs written especially for the duo by artists including Brad Mehldau, Patty Griffin, and Philip Lasser. Jenny Scheinman, whose previous collaborators include Bill Frissell, David Byrne and Madeleine Peyroux, has contributed arrangements of some of Tift’s and Simone’s favorite songs. Both artists will perform solo as well – Tift in her own songs, and Simone in some of her favorite selections from the solo classical piano repertoire.
