Gabriela Montero
Sunday, October 26, 2008 4:00 pm
Monday, October 27, 2008 7:30 pm


Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her inspired performances of core repertoire, Gabriela Montero’s deeply-felt and technically brilliant classical improvisations have their roots in baroque and classical music. Gabriela Montero's visionary interpretations and unique improvisational gift have won her a quickly expanding audience and devoted following around the world.

“Ms. Montero’s playing had everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power in climactic moments, soulful lyricism in ruminative passages and, best of all, unsentimental expressivity.” New York Times

Program:

This unique program will consist entirely of classical improvisations, with some themes suggested by audience members.
