Sixth & I

Lauded by The Washington Post as “an artist of strikingly original ideas and irrefutable integrity,” Simone Dinnerstein returns to Washington Performing Arts for an evening of distinctive artistry at Sixth &amp; I. The program opens with the world premiere of a new work by Ellis Ludwig-Leone, inspired by Philip Glass's Songs for Liquid Days. The recital also features Rameau's rarely performed Gavotte et six doubles, followed by American composer Philip Lasser’s Twelve Variations on a Chorale by J.S. Bach, exploring the power and modernity of Bach’s harmonic poetry. Dinnerstein continues to demonstrate her “unique voice in the forest of Bach interpretation” (The New York Times) with the composer’s 15 Sinfonias and closes her program with Keith Jarrett’s Encore from Tokyo, ending the night on a note of otherworldly serenity.
Dinnerstein’s performance is the fifth-annual Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Recital–a creative initiative connecting Justice Ginsburg’s love of music, the esteemed artists she championed and befriended, and the future of the vocal and instrumental arts in which she delighted.

Celebrated sitar maestro Niladri Kumaar is a compelling force in Indian classical music and an innovator who carries centuries of tradition in every note. This evening is both a forward-looking showcase and a tribute to an irreplaceable musical bond: curated selections from Space Between the Notes, the only recorded live performance between Kumaar and the late, legendary Zakir Hussain. Their singular partnership resounds once more—a gift, before the album's release later this year. Featuring sitar, zitar, and an ensemble of Indian and American musicians with jazz influences, this is Indian music at its most expansive, where centuries of classical tradition meet improvisational spirit.

Washington Performing Arts presents an evening where the musical worlds of Central Asia, China, the Middle East, and contemporary Europe meet in striking and unexpected harmony. Five performers from the Aga Khan Master Musicians—an artistic collective dedicated to living musical traditions—are joined by celebrated French artist Vincent Peirani for a concert that is wholly its own.
Syrian-born Basel Rajoub has reimagined an entirely new vocabulary for the saxophone; his compatriot Feras Charestan commands the qanun, the shimmering Middle Eastern plucked zither. Turkish oud master Yurdal Tokcan and Uzbek percussionist Abbos Kosimov, a virtuoso on the doira frame drum, complete the collective's lineup. They are joined by Vincent Peirani, award-winning accordionist, singer, and composer whose work spans jazz, contemporary music, and improvisation. Six distinct voices in one extraordinary evening.

The Music Center at Strathmore

The year 2026 marks 100 years since the births of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, two visionaries of modern jazz. To mark the occasion, esteemed trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard and saxophonist and composer Ravi Coltrane join forces for a centennial tribute celebrating the history, evolution, and continuing future of jazz. The two bandleaders bring distinct personal and artistic connections to this performance: Coltrane as the son of John Coltrane and Blanchard as one of today’s leading trumpeters, shaped by the music and innovation of Miles Davis. Together, they channel the creativity, freedom, and spirit of experimentation that defined Davis and Coltrane’s artistry. Rather than a nostalgic reenactment, the concert offers a reimagining grounded in the legacy of Davis and Coltrane while remaining anchored in the present. True to jazz’s essence, Blanchard, Coltrane, and their ensemble embrace improvisation, invention, and emotional intensity, allowing the music to evolve in the moment throughout the evening.
