Performer
Gabriela Montero, Piano

Composer-pianist-improviser Gabriela Montero scintillated Carnegie Hall audiences in the summer of 2019 when she joined NYO2, one of Carnegie Hall’s talented national youth ensembles, for her sizzling Piano Concerto No. 1, “Latin.” Her “playing has everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power in climactic moments, soulful lyricism in the ruminative passages and, best of all, unsentimental expressivity” (The New York Times). Experience a new chapter in Carnegie Hall history with her recital.
