RENOWNED PIANIST, GABRIELA MONTERO, TO DAZZLE MIAMI FANS ON FEBRUARY 11

MIAMI, FL - Internationally renowned pianist, Gabriela Montero, will dazzle listeners and critics with her one-of-a-kind style and improvisational skills in Miami, Florida on Friday, February 11, 2011 at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts (174 E. Flagler Street).

According to the New York Times, Gabriela Montero is an "exciting, brilliant, imaginative pianist - with a passion for improvisation,” and BBC Music Magazine raves, “For Beethoven and Liszt, classical improvisation was serious art. This statuesque Venezuelan proves the art is not lost."

Montero's improvisational skills separate her from today's pack of classical pianists. "I connect to my audience in a completely unique way – and they connect with me," she says. "Because improvisation is such a huge part of who I am, it is the most natural and spontaneous way I can express myself."

Montero’s credits include appearances on 60 Minutes, a Grammy award nomination, and the honor of performing at the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Sprinkled in between have been high profile performances with the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonic and several critically acclaimed album releases.

Montero's EMI-produced Bach and Beyond album introduced her to a United States audience that embraced her wholeheartedly, driving the album to its status as a Billboard bestseller in 2006. Her 2008 album, Baroque received 5-star reviews from authorities that included BBC Music Magazine, and her October 2010 album, Solatino, is on pace to continue her trend of stellar album releases.

"She has a gift shared with only the greatest keyboard artists," according to The Register Guard and the Seattle Times applauds Montero by mentioning that, “She ranks with the best. A goddess.”
