Progetto Martha Argerich
italianoPerformers
Gabriela Montero
Born in Caracas (Venezuela), Gabriela gave her first public performance at the age of five. Aged eight she made her concerto debut with the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra and was granted a scholarship from the Venezuelan Government to study in the U. S. From her first contact with a piano, Gabriela has always improvised and she decided to make it public at the behest of Martha Argerich. Gabriela’s engagements include her acclaimed performances with the New York Philharmonic debut with Lorin Maazel, LA Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic and with the UBS Verbier Chamber Orchestra with Antonio Pappano and in recital at the Edinburgh Festival, Verbier Festival, Wigmore Hall, Klavier Festival Ruhr, Köln Philharmonie, Tonhalle Dusseldorf, Istanbul International Festival, Kennedy Centre Washington DC, National Arts Centre Ottawa, Orchard Hall Tokyo. This season, Gabriela will make her debut with the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln. She will also be making her Vienna debut at the Konzerthaus in recital and with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Fabio Luisi. Gabriela has a long-established relationship with the French cellist Gautier Capucon and they will appear at the 2009 Salzburg Festival. Gabriela also took part in the Inauguration Ceremony of Barack Obama in the USA in a specially composed work by John Williams for Piano, Clarinet, Violin and Cello. In 2008, her latest album Baroque was nominated for a Grammy Award in two categories (Best Crossover Category and Best Producer Category).
