Save the date! On Saturday, September 14th, we will be continuing our Music in the Circle Concert Series! Featuring incredibly talented local acts that are sure to make you dance, stopping by Dupont Circle on Saturday afternoons is a must.
At noon on Saturday, September 14th, we will be joined by Simone Baron and her jazz group! Simone Baron is a polyglot pianist, accordionist, improviser and composer whose work “ego-less, genre agnostic and without expectations” (JazzTimes) engages curiously and charismatically with a broad spectrum of idioms.
Educated at Oberlin and Tel Aviv University and joyfully de-educated at festivals and performances across Europe and the Americas, Simone has won grants, fellowships, commissions and residencies from Chamber Music America, South Arts, the Hambidge Center, Sacatar Foundation, Strathmore, Marble House Project, Avaloch Farm, the Banff Centre, and Spectrum Toronto to name a few.
In 2016 Simone founded Arco Belo, a diasporic chamber music ensemble that has toured nationally. Simone is a Victoria Artist and plays a Poeta XB Accordion and is a founding member of the Boulanger Initiative.
