With an extensive repertoire, Simone has been the guest of many of the world’s leading orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Simone performed with such eminent conductors as Jaap van Zweden, Antonio Pappano, Paavo Järvi, Gianandrea Noseda, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Vladimir Jurowski. In the 2024-2025 season, Simone will return to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, Antwerp Symphony, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg or Hallé Orchestra among other engagements such as concerts with the Tonkünstler Orchester with new music director Fabien Gabel, Stavanger and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras and a tour with Amsterdam Sinfonietta. In 2019, Simone was made a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in London, an honour limited to 300 former Academy students, and awarded to those musicians who have distinguished themselves within the profession.
