Marin Alsop, conductor
Gabriela Montero, piano
GABRIELA ORTIZ Antrópolis
GABRIELA MONTERO Piano Concerto No. 1, “Latin”
RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Scheherazade
In this legendary rendering by Rimsky-Korsakov, a soaring violin embodies the seductive voice of Scheherazade, while Ravel’s kaleidoscopic orchestration conveys the all-absorbing tales of One Thousand and One Nights. Composer and pianist Gabriela Montero combines forces with Music Director Laureate Marin Alsop in Montero’s uproarious and fun Piano Concerto No. 1 “Latin,” complete with a mambo and a pajarillo dance from her native Venezuela. Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz kicks off the party with a scintillating tribute to dance halls of Mexico City.
