Overview

Scheherazade, Alsop, & Montero

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.
