La Jolla Music Society
Gabriela Montero
“Montero’s playing had everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings… and, best of all, unsentimental expressivity.”
— The New York Times
The internationally acclaimed pianist Gabriela Montero returns to La Jolla Music Society with a richly expressive recital of Spanish and Spanish-inspired music.
Her evocative program brings together beloved works by Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, Liszt, and others, alongside rarely heard miniatures by the legendary Alicia de Larrocha, one of the defining pianists of the 20th century.
