Gabriela Montero Solo Recital at 92Y (Site)

Thursday May 21, 2020, 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

$53.00

Pianist Gabriela Montero makes her 92Y debut in a characteristically thoughtful program of written works and improvisation.

Entitled “Westward,” this program is an examination of the immigrant experience. Beginning with two works of Prokofiev, who left Russia after the revolution but returned almost 20 years later, we proceed to works by Rachmaninoff and Stravinsky, composers who likewise emigrated from Russia after the revolution, but settled permanently in the United States and became citizens of that country, contributing immensely to America’s cultural life. Finally, Ms. Montero will improvise an accompaniment to Charlie Chaplin’s short film The Immigrant, the tale of an unnamed immigrant making his journey across the ocean to America.

Program

Prokofiev Piano Sonata No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 14
Rachmaninoff Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor, Op. 36
