“…Her playing flowed beautifully, and avoided even the slightest hint of sentimentality. Hers was a strongly felt authentic Chopin. Maestro Zubin Mehta collaborated marvellously as a perfect accompanist.”-Jerusalem Post
A graduate of the Moscow Conservatory, where she studied with the legendary Vera Gornostayeva, Yoffe began her active performing career while still a student, performing in the Soviet Union, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
Respected and revered as both teacher and performer, Dina Yoffe has collaborated with conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Neville Marriner, Valery Gergiev, Gidon Kremer and Yuri Bashmet. She is also an active performer in chamber music, and has collaborated with some of today’s greatest musicians.
In teaching and performing Chopin, Yoffe strives to get to the heart of the music, works to achieve absolute naturalness in the music making, and stresses textual fidelity to the printed score.
Lauded for the musicality and brilliance of her playing wherever she performs, Dina Yoffe is returning to share her wonderful artistry with our audience. Come and experience for yourself the playing of this “sovereign master of her art” (Süddeutsche Zeitung).
