GABRIELA MONTERO piano
WeD | Apr 16 | 7 pM | SpAulDing AuDitOriuM
This Venezuelan-born artist refreshes the classical repertoire, playing with
“crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power...soulful lyricism...
unsentimental expressivity” (The New York Times). Her Hop concert includes
Brahms’ Four Pieces for Piano, Op. 119, among his most personal and moving
compositions; and Schumann’s Fantasy in C Major, Op. 17, considered a
defining Romantic work. She’ll also offer her fascinating improvisations based
on audience-suggested tunes that she transforms into impromptu “classical”
compositions.

How does science inspire music, and vice versa? Emerging composer Fay
Wang, whose work has been played by everyone from the China Philharmonic
Orchestra to Bang On A Can All-Stars, leads a musical ensemble in the
premiere of a Hop-commissioned work created in collaboration with
Dartmouth’s Department of Biological Sciences. This year, as Dartmouth
microbiology scientists shared their view of life through a microscope, Wang
created a work capturing the beauty and intricacy of the biologist’s world.
