Gabriela Montero is the virtuoso who broke the mould – the Venezuelan pianist whose irrepressible imagination and flair for improvisation has put creativity back into the heart of the classical piano repertoire. Her own Latin Concerto is ‘a profoundly personal expression of the continent in which I was born’. Conductor Elim Chan frames it with classics old and new in today’s Full Score concert- Caroline Shaw’s 21st century tribute to the music of the classical era, and Brahms’s mighty final symphony. Liz Nolan presents a showcase of unabridged musical masterworks, featuring live recordings of Irish and international performers, plus selections from the latest CD releases.
