17 year old American violinist Simone Porter is establishing herself as a young concert artist of tremendous potential – praised for her impassioned energy, musical integrity and vibrant sound.
A student of renowned pedagogue Robert Lipsett, at the Colburn Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles, Simone made her international debut aged 13 with London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – and has since made coveted solo appearances with the New York Philharmonic, American Youth Symphony, Nashville Symphony and the Utah Symphony.
