Happy Birthday, Violinist VC Artist Simone Porter!

Today is American violinist, VC Artist Simone Porter’s 28th birthday!

Porter made her professional solo debut at the age of 10 with the Seattle Symphony and her international debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London at 13.

A graduate of the Colburn School, where she studied with Robert Lipsett, Simone was the recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2015.

In the past few years she has given her debut performances with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic — and worked with a number of renowned conductors, including Gustavo Dudamel, Charles Dutoit, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Nicholas McGegan, Ludovic Morlot, and Donald Runnicles.

She currently performs on a 1745 J.B. Guadagnini violin, on generous loan from the Mandell Collection of Southern California.
