Gabriela Montero, piano Sunday · September 20, 2009 Bailey Hall · 8pm

Venezuelan-born pianist Gabriela Montero’s interpretive and improvisational gifts have won her a devoted following around the world, and in America she has been featured on NPR’s Performance Today, CBS’s 60 Minutes, and at the inauguration of President Obama.  Along with masterworks of the classical repertoire, improvisation plays an important part in Ms. Montero’s musical life – just as it once did for Bach and Mozart.  “When improvising, I connect to my audience in a completely unique way – and they connect with me." – Gabriela Montero "... poetic, scintillating, rhapsodic." - The New York Times
