The concert will be an exploration of the westward migration of Eastern European composers to Los Angeles for work in the film industry, coupled with the delight and buoyancy of Gabriela Montero’s classical improvisations for which she is famous, this time accompanying Charlie Chaplin’s film The Immigrant.
Montero’s visionary interpretations and unique compositional gifts have garnered her critical acclaim and a devoted following on the world stage. “Montero’s playing had everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power … soulful lyricism … unsentimental expressivity.” (The New York Times) Celebrated for her exceptional musicality and ability to improvise, Montero is a frequent recitalist and chamber musician, having performed at such distinguished venues as Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Vienna Konzerthaus, Sydney Opera House, and the National Concert Hall in Taipei.
