She has guest-conducted over a hundred orchestras in North America, and many of the most prominent orchestras in Europe, Asia and South America. She is a leading recording artist for Naxos, and has won two individual Grammy Awards. Her Naxos recording of John Corigliano’s Mr. Tambourine Man with the BPO received two Grammys. Her Scriabin recording with the BPO was nominated for a 2024 Grammy for Best Orchestral Performance.
Falletta is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has served by Presidential appointment as a Member of the National Council on the Arts. She has conducted over 1,600 orchestral works by more than 600 composers, including over 135 works by women composers and over 150 premieres. After earning her bachelor’s degree at Mannes, Falletta received master’s and doctoral degrees from The Juilliard School.
Violinist SIMONE PORTER has been recognized as an emerging artist of impassioned energy, interpretive integrity, and vibrant communication. She has debuted with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Seattle and Pittsburgh Symphonies and with many renowned conductors. In March 2015, Simone was named a recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant. Recent recital highlights include a tour in Spain with pianist Pallavi Mahidhara and debuts at Celebrity Series in Boston and NY92, both of which featured the newly commissioned piece by composer Reena Esmail.

With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like “America,” “Forever in Blue Jeans” and “Sweet Caroline,” an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, Neil Diamond’s story was made to shine on Broadway and head out on the road across America.
“Some of my most thrilling nights have been while I was on tour, bringing my music to audiences across the world,” said Neil Diamond. “Having A BEAUTIFUL NOISE go on tour is an honor and I can’t wait for audiences across North America to experience this show.

I couldn’t imagine a more perfect way to honor his legacy than having A BEAUTIFUL NOISE touring North America, visiting the same cities where he gave so many people so much joy. Now, after a successful Broadway run, good times never seemed so good as A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL, is in West Palm Beach making its premiere at the Kravis Center in April, 2026.”
