It is the mission of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to provide musical experiences at the highest level of expression to enrich the community and satisfy the needs and preferences of our audiences.

We will achieve this mission by working together to support an internationally recognized orchestra and by ensuring a viable long-term financial future; a fulfilling environment for our orchestra, staff, volunteers; and the unsurpassed satisfaction of our customers.

Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performances are brought to the community in part by generous support from the Allegheny Regional Asset District and corporations, foundations and individuals throughout our community. The PSO receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Radio station WQED-FM 89.3 and WQEJ-FM 89.7 is the official voice of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Tune in Sundays at 8 p.m. for “Pittsburgh Symphony Radio” concert broadcasts hosted by Jim Cunningham.

SEPTEMBER 10, 1971: HEINZ HALL OPENS ITS DOORS The opening night for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in its newly-renovated home was full of celebration fitting to the grandeur of the building itself. September 10, 1971 marked the 45th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Symphony and the 20th year of William Steinberg’s role at the helm of the Orchestra. Before the opening event, sub-

scriptions for the 1971-72 season were sold out!

The festive evening was celebrated with ceremony and pageantry: flowers adorned the tables and hallways; dinners were held for guests; champagne was served to all; and above all, world-class music was performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The entire city of Pittsburgh was celebrating the opening of its new performing arts center and the nation took notice.

A thousand of the 2,847 guests were

invited to H.J. “Jack” and Drue Heinz’s intimate dinner party in the main ballroom of the Pittsburgh Hilton Hotel. In attendance at the dinner were such friends as Henry and Elsie Hillman, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mellon, Mr. and Mrs. E.P. Mellon, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Benedum, Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Peck and composer Samuel Barber. Although the Hilton was only two blocks from the new venue, Mr. Heinz provided his guests with air-conditioned buses to transport them to the red carpet rolled out in front of the entrances to the Hall.

Members of the National Council on the Arts, including chairwoman Nancy Hanks, deputy chairman Michael Straight, Marian Anderson, Charlton Heston, James Earl Jones, Maurice Abravanel, conductor and director of the Utah Symphony Orchestra, concert pianist Rudolf Serkin, Peter Mennin, director of the Juilliard School, and sculptor Richard Hunt, among others, attended the opening night’s events, despite the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opening the same week a little closer to home.

The inaugural concert of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in its new home of

Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts began at 8:40 p.m. and concluded at 10:45 p.m. The dedication address was given by Henry L. Hillman. The oboe sounded an ‘A,’ Maestro Steinberg arrived at the podium and the first notes of Beethoven’s Overture to Consecration of the House rang throughout the new concert hall, pleasing the ears of all in attendance. Samuel Barber’s Fadograph of a Yestern Scene, commissioned by the Alcoa Foundation for the occasion, followed the Overture. Prior to intermission, Maestro Steinberg led the PSO in the first movement of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor, “Resurrection,” with the rest of the work to follow after intermission. Soloists for the evening were Joanna Simon, mezzo-soprano, and Benita Valente, soprano. The Pennsylvania State University Chorus, directed by Raymond Brown, completed the necessary forces for such a momentous piece, aptly chosen for the resurrection of a world-class concert hall from the “ashes” of Penn Theatre.

HEINZ HALL

“In the late 1960s the Pittsburgh Symphony was due to move out of its old home at Syria Mosque in Oakland. Yet its promised new concert hall in the showy Center for the Arts, planned for the lower Hill urban-renewal area, had not been started (and never was). To give the Symphony temporary space, the Heinz Endowments bought the old Penn Theatre, which, like many of the silentmovie theaters, had stage space. As the hope of the cultural display case on the Hill was deferred still further, and as

interested parties stressed the advantages of a concert hall in the center of the city, the temporary expedient became the permanent plan with a remodeling by the local firm Stotz, Hess, MacLachlan & Fosner. Shop space became a lobby; the old entrance became a huge foyer window; and broad office windows above were partly filled in, in a rather Viennese Baroque style. [One of the last makers] of architectural terra cotta in the United States was commissioned to match the warm off-white of the original facing, and

did an almost-perfect job.

Inside, the richly decorated auditorium, originally meant to be dark, was lightened in tones of cream, red, and gold, and Verner S. Purnell of Sewickley painted huge gray-gold trophies in a Neo-Baroque manner. The old spaces outside the auditorium were adapted to intermission crowds, presenting a spectacle of real marble, fake marble, glossy ceramics, and chandeliers.

The popularity of Heinz Hall led to its facilities being over-taxed, and anoth-

Cindy McTee, born into a musical family in Tacoma, Washington on February 20, 1953 and raised in nearby Eatonville, began piano studies at age six and played saxophone as a teenager.

McTee composed Double Play in 2010 on a commission from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, which premiered the work on 3 June 2010 under the direction of Leonard Slatkin. Of the work’s two movements, she wrote, “I have always been particularly attracted to the idea that disparate musical elements — tonal and atonal, placid and frenetic — can not only coexist but also illuminate and complement one another. I can think of no composer more capable of achieving these kinds of meaningful juxtapositions than Charles Ives. As in Ives’ Unanswered Question, my “Unquestioned Answer” presents planes of highly contrasting materials: sustained, consonant sonorities in the strings intersect to create dissonances; melodies for the principal players soar atop; and discordant passages in the brass and winds become ever more disruptive. The five-note theme from Ives’ piece is heard in both its backward and forward versions throughout the work.

“Tempus Fugit, Latin for ‘time flees’ but more commonly translated as ‘time flies,’ is frequently used as an inscription on clocks. My Tempus Fugit begins with the sounds of several pendulum clocks ticking at different speeds and takes flight about two minutes later using a rhythm borrowed from Leonard Slatkin’s Fin for orchestra. Jazz rhythms and harmonies, quickly moving repetitive melodic ideas, and fragmented form echo the multifaceted and hurried aspects of 21st-century American society.”

WALTER PISTON

Concerto for Viola and Orchestra (1957) Walter Piston, one of America’s most distinguished men of music, taught himself to play violin and piano but trained in draftsmanship and architecture at the Massachusetts Normal School of Art.

23 minutes Piston composed his Viola Concerto in 1957 for Joseph de Pasquale, Principal Violist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, who played the premiere with the BSO and conductor Charles Munch on 7 March 1958; the work won the New York Music Critics Circle Award that season. The lyrical and gently melancholy main theme of the Concerto’s opening movement is previewed softly by the strings before being taken over and stated in full by the soloist. A sudden change of mood and rhythm introduce the second theme, a leaping melody that requires some technical display from the violist. A brief unaccompanied solo passage leads to the development section, which is largely based on the lyrical main theme. The exposition’s materials return in the recapitulation before the movement comes to a quiet close with a ruminative coda based on the opening theme. The Adagio, in which Piston said “a neo-romantic sentiment prevails,” is structured in two large formal paragraphs, each divided into a rhapsodic passage in the nature of an improvisation followed by a cantabile episode that culminates in a soft, luminous major chord. The finale is in rondo form, with what Piston called “festive fanfares in trumpets and horns” announcing the soloist’s syncopated main subject. Complementary lyrical episodes separate the returns of the principal theme. The Concerto closes with an extended cadenza for the soloist and a final fanfare from the brass.

RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS Five Variants of “Dives and Lazarus” (1939) Folksong was the warp through which Vaughan Williams drew the weft of his creativity. The lyricism, the modality, the very essence of indigenous British music provided both the model of direct emotional expression and the technical substance from which ABOUT THE COMPOSER: he drew his characteristic musical speech.

The text refers to the parable in Luke 16:19-31 of the diseased beggar Lazarus spurned by the rich man, known as Dives (or Diverus).

Vaughan Williams wrote his Five Variants of “Dives and Lazarus” for string orchestra and harp in 1939 at the request of the British Council, which was then commissioning pieces from the country’s leading composers to represent England at the New York World’s Fair. Sir Adrian Boult conducted the New York Philharmonic in the premiere, at Carnegie Hall on 10 June 1939. The Five Variants of “Dives and Lazarus” is part ethnomusicological scholarship, part musical meditation. Vaughan Williams’ note in the published score — “these variants are not exact replicas of traditional tunes, but rather reminiscences of various versions in my own collection and those of others” — clarifies the work’s title, which indicates that the piece comprises different realizations of the core melody rather than formal variations on it. The work, however, is far more than a simple compilation of field research specimens — it is the very essence of Vaughan Williams’ pastoral style: erected upon one of his most beloved folksongs, luminously scored for strings and harp, rich in its modal harmony, lyrical, ruminative, nostalgic, timeless.

JEAN FRANÇAIX

L’Horloge de Flore (The Flower Clock) for Oboe and Orchestra (1959)

Jean Françaix, the French composer, pianist and advocate of Debussy’s artistic philosophy of “faire plaisir” (“giving pleasure”), was born into a musical family in Le Mans in May 1912 — his father was a pianist and composer and director of the Le Mans Conservatory; his mother taught voice and founded a local chorus.

ABOUT THE COMPOSER: Jean received his earliest training from his parents but Born 23 May 1912 in Le Mans, he showed such precocious talent that he was regularFrance; died 25 September 1997 in Paris ly commuting to Paris for private lessons at the PREMIERE OF WORK: Conservatoire by age nine. He was much upset by Philadelphia, 1 April 1961 news of the death of Camille Saint-Saëns in that year Philadelphia Orchestra (1921), and vowed to his father that he would “take Academy of Music his place” as a musicien français; Françaix’s earliest Eugene Ormandy, conductor published work, a suite for piano, appeared the next John de Lancie, soloist year. He settled in Paris a few years later for regular THESE PERFORMANCES MARK study at the Conservatoire, where his tutelage was THE PSO PREMIERE entrusted to Isidor Philipp for piano and Nadia INSTRUMENTATION: Boulanger for composition. Françaix won the two flutes, oboe, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns and strings Conservatoire’s first prize in piano when he was just APPROXIMATE DURATION: eighteen, and two years later he gained recognition as 16 minutes a composer with a symphony that was premiered in Paris by Pierre Monteux in November 1932. He played the first performance of his Concertino for Piano and Orchestra with much success in 1934, and came to international prominence when he presented the work at a festival of contemporary music in Baden-Baden two years later. He subsequently made numerous tours throughout Europe and the United States as composer and pianist. The 1933 ballet Scuola di ballo, choreographed by Léonide Massine for the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, marked Françaix’s entry into the genres of musical theater, for which he produced five operas, sixteen ballets and many film scores before his death in Paris on September 25, 1997.

Françaix composed his L’Horloge de Flore (“The Flower Clock”) in 1959 on a commission from John de Lancie, Principal Oboist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, who premiered the work with that ensemble on 1 April 1961; Eugene Ormandy conducted. The inspiration for the work, in seven continuous and varied movements, was the “flower clock” devised by the celebrated Swedish botanist Carl von Linné (1707-1778, known as Linnaeus), which classified various flowers according to the time of day at which each blooms: 3 a.m. — Galant de jour (poisonberry); 5 a.m. — Cupidone bleue (blue catananche); 10 a.m. — Cierge à grandes fleurs (torch thistle); 12 noon — Nyctanthe du Malabar (Malabar jasmine); 5 p.m. — Belle de nuit (belladonna, or deadly nightshade); 7 p.m. — Géranium triste (mourning geranium); and 9 p.m. — Silène noctiflore (night-flowering catchfly).

BENJAMIN BRITTEN The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra (Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell), Op. 34 (1946) Early in 1946, the British Ministry of Education approached Britten with a request to compose music for a film they were preparing to introduce the orchestra to children, and he agreed to the project. He cast ABOUT THE COMPOSER: his work in the form of a series of variations with a Born 22 November 1913 in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England; died 4 concluding fugue based on the hornpipe from December 1976 in Aldeburgh, Purcell’s incidental music to Abdelazar, or The Suffolk Moor’s Revenge (1695), and gave it the dual title of PREMIERE OF WORK: The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra and Liverpool, 15 October 1946 Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell.

The work’s second section is a series of variations presenting the instruments individually. First the woodwinds are heard — brilliant arabesques for flutes and piccolo, a bittersweet strain for oboes, a nimble duet for clarinets, and a jocular march with a lyrical obbligato for bassoons. The strings are next. A dashing polonaise for violins, warm, romantic melodies for violas and then cellos, a wide-ranging variation for double basses, and an accompanied cadenza for harp. The variations are rounded out by the brasses — horns, trumpets, trombones with tuba — and a goodly sampling of percussion instruments.

The concluding section of the Guide is a fugue whose theme is loosely based on Purcell’s melody, with each of the instruments joining the fugue in the order in which it was introduced in the variations.

SERGEI PROKOFIEV Classical Symphony, Opus 25 [Symphony No. 1] (1916-1917) Prokofiev’s penchant for using Classical musical idioms was instilled in him during the course of his thorough, excellent training: when he was a little tot, his mother played Beethoven sonatas to him while he sat under the piano; he studied with the greatest ABOUT THE COMPOSER: Russian musicians of the time — Glière, RimskyBorn 23 April 1891 in Sontsovka; died 5 March 1953 in Moscow Korsakov, Liadov, Glazunov; he began composing at the Mozartian age of six. By the time he was 25, PREMIERE OF WORK: Petrograd, 21 April 1918 Prokofiev was composing prolifically, always brewing Sergei Prokofiev, conductor a variety of compositions simultaneously. The works PSO PREMIERE: of 1917, for example, represent widely divergent 8 November 1931 styles — The Gambler is a satirical opera; They Are Antonio Modarelli, conductor Seven, a nearly atonal cantata; the Classical INSTRUMENTATION: woodwinds, horns and trumpets in Symphony, a charming miniature. This last piece was pairs, timpani and strings a direct result of Prokofiev’s study with Alexander APPROXIMATE DURATION: Tcherepnin, a good and wise teacher who allowed 13 minutes the young composer to forge ahead in his own manner while making sure that he had a thorough understanding of the great musical works of the past. It was in 1916 that Prokofiev first had the idea for a symphony based on the Viennese models supplied by Tcherepnin, and at that time he sketched out a few themes for it. Most of the work, however, was done the following year, as Prokofiev recounted in his Autobiography: “I spent the summer of 1917 in complete solitude in the environs of Petrograd; I read Kant and I worked hard. I had purposely not had my piano moved to the country because I wanted to establish the fact that thematic material worked out without a piano is better....

The idea occurred to me to compose an entire symphonic work without the piano.

Composed in this fashion, the orchestral colors would, of necessity, be clearer and cleaner. Thus the plan of a symphony in Haydnesque style originated, since, as a result of my studies in Tcherepnin’s classes, Haydn’s technique had somehow become especially clear to me, and with such intimate understanding it was much easier to plunge into the dangerous flood without a piano. It seemed to me that, were he alive today, Haydn, while retaining his style of composition, would have appropriated something from the modern.

Such a symphony I now wanted to compose: a symphony in the classic manner. As it began to take actual form I named it Classical Symphony; first, because it was the simplest thing to call it; second, out of bravado, to stir up a hornet’s nest; and finally, in the hope that should the symphony prove itself in time to be truly ‘classic,’ it would benefit me considerably.” Prokofiev’s closing wish has been fulfilled — the Classical Symphony has been one of his most successful works ever since it was first heard in Petrograd in 1918.

The work is in the four movements customary in Haydn’s symphonies, though at only fifteen minutes it hardly runs to half their typical length. The dapper first movement is a miniature sonata design that follows the traditional form but adds some quirks that would have given old Haydn himself a chuckle — the recapitulation, for example, begins in the 32 pittsburghsymphony.org

“wrong” key (but soon rights itself), and occasionally a beat is left out, as though the music had stubbed its toe. The sleek main theme is followed by the enormous leaps, flashing grace notes and sparse texture of the second subject. A graceful, ethereal melody floating high in the violins is used to open and close the Larghetto, with the pizzicato gentle middle section reaching a brilliant tutti before quickly subsiding. The third movement, a Gavotte, comes not from the Viennese symphony but rather from the tradition of French Baroque ballet. The finale is the most brilliant movement of the Symphony, and calls for remarkable feats of agility and precise ensemble from the performers.

SERGEI PROKOFIEV

Concerto No. 3 in C major for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 26 (1921)

PREMIERE OF WORK: Chicago, 16 December 1921 Chicago Symphony Orchestra Frederick Stock, conductor Sergei Prokofiev, soloist

In a 1962 interview, Madame Lina Llubera Prokofiev, PITTSBURGH PREMIERE: 12 February 1960 the composer’s first wife, recalled her husband’s workSyria Mosque ing method at the time he wrote the C major Piano Ronald Ondrejka, conductor Concerto: “Prokofiev toiled at his music. His capacity PSO PREMIERE: for work was phenomenal. He would sit down to 24 March 1944 Fritz Reiner, conductor work in the morning ‘with a clear head,’ as he said, Beveridge Webster, piano either at the piano or at his writing desk. He usually INSTRUMENTATION: composed his major works in the summer, in the woodwinds in pairs plus piccolo, four horns, two trumpets, three mountains or at the seaside, away from the turmoil of trombones, timpani, percussion and city life. Always he sought places where the rhythm of strings work was not interrupted, where he could rest and APPROXIMATE DURATION: take long walks. So it was with the Third Piano 28 minutes Concerto, which he completed during the summer of 1921 while staying at St. Brévin-les-Pins, a small village on the coast of Brittany in France.”

The composition of this Concerto was not a sudden inspiration for Prokofiev. The plan for a large virtuoso work to follow the first two piano concertos emerged in 1911, but he made little progress on it except for one passage he eventually placed at the end of the first movement. By 1913, he later recalled in his memoirs, “I had composed a theme for variations, which I kept for a long time for subsequent use. In 1916-1917, I had tried several times to return to the Third Concerto. I wrote a beginning for it (two themes) and two variations on the theme for the second movement.” At that time, he was also working on what he called a “white” quartet (i.e., in a diatonic style, playable on the white keys of the piano) but abandoned it because he thought the result would be monotonous. He shuttled two themes from this aborted quartet into the Concerto. “Thus,” he continued in his autobiography, “when I began [in 1921] working on the Third Concerto, I already had the entire thematic material with the exception of the subordinate theme of the first movement and the third theme of the finale.”

Prokofiev provided the following description of the score: “The first movement opens quietly with a short introduction. The theme is announced by an unaccompanied clarinet and is continued by the violins for a few bars. Soon the tempo changes to Allegro, and the strings lead to the statement of the principal subject by the piano. Discussion of this theme is carried on in a lively manner, both the piano and the orchestra having a good deal to say on the matter. A passage in chords for the piano alone leads to the more expressive PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

second subject, which is heard in the oboe with a pizzicato accompaniment. The second movement consists of a theme with five variations. The finale begins with a staccato theme for bassoons and pizzicato strings, which is interrupted by the blustering entry of the piano. The orchestra holds its own with the opening theme, however, and there is a good deal of argument, with frequent differences of opinion as regards key. Eventually the piano takes up the first theme and develops it to a climax. With a reduction of tone and a slackening of tempo, an alternative theme is introduced in the woodwinds. The piano replies with a theme that is more in keeping with the caustic humor of the work. This material is developed, and there is a brilliant coda.”

JOHANNES BRAHMS Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73 (1877) In the summer of 1877, Brahms repaired to the village of Pörtschach in the Carinthian hills of southern Austria. He wrote to a Viennese friend, “Pörtschach is an exquisite spot, and I have found a lovely and apparently pleasant abode in the castle! You may tell ABOUT THE COMPOSER: everybody this; it will impress them.... The place is Born 7 May 1833 in Hamburg; died 3 April 1897 in Vienna replete with Austrian coziness and kindheartedness.”

The lovely country surroundings inspired Brahms’ PREMIERE OF WORK: Vienna, 30 December 1877 creativity to such a degree that he wrote to the critic Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Eduard Hanslick, “So many melodies fly about, one Hans Richter, conductor must be careful not to tread on them.” Brahms PSO PREMIERE: plucked from the gentle Pörtschach breezes a surfeit 25 November 1898A Victor herbert, conductor of beautiful music for his Second Symphony, which INSTRUMENTATION: was written quickly during that summer — a great woodwinds in pairs, four horns, two contrast to the fifteen-year gestation of the preceding trumpets, three trombones, tuba, symphony.

After the premiere, Brahms himself allowed that the Second Symphony “sounded so merry and tender, as though it were especially written for a newly wedded couple.” Early listeners heard in it “a glimpse of Nature, a spring day amid soft mosses, springing woods, birds’ notes and the bloom of flowers.” Richard Specht, the composer’s biographer, found it “suffused with the sunshine and warm winds playing on the waters.” The conductor Felix Weingartner thought it the best of Brahms’ four symphonies: “The stream of invention has never flowed so fresh and spontaneous in other works by Brahms, and nowhere else has he colored his orchestration so successfully.” To which American critic Olin Downes added, “In his own way, and sometimes with long sentences, he formulates his thought, and the music has the rich chromaticism, depth of shadow and significance of detail that characterize a Rembrandt portrait.”

The Symphony opens with a three-note motive, presented softly by the low strings, which is the germ seed from which much of the thematic material of the movement 34 pittsburghsymphony.org

program notes

grows. The horns sing the principal theme, which includes, in its third measure, the threenote motive. The sweet second theme is given in duet by the cellos and violas. The development begins with the horn’s main theme, but is mostly concerned with permutations of the three-note motive around which some stormy emotional sentences accumulate. The placid mood of the opening returns with the recapitulation, and remains largely undisturbed until the end of the movement.

The second movement plumbs the deepest emotions in the Symphony. Many of its early listeners found it difficult to understand because they failed to perceive that, in constructing the four broad paragraphs comprising the Second Symphony, Brahms deemed it necessary to balance the radiant first movement with music of thoughtfulness and introspection in the second. This movement actually covers a wide range of sentiments, shifting, as it does, between light and shade — major and minor. Its form is sonata-allegro, whose second theme is a gently syncopated strain intoned by the woodwinds above the cellos’ pizzicato notes.

The following Allegretto is a delightful musical sleight-of-hand. The oboe presents a naive, folk-like tune in moderate triple meter as the movement’s principal theme. The strings take over the melody in the first Trio, but play it in an energetic duple-meter transformation. The return of the sedate original theme is again interrupted by another quicktempo variation, this one a further development of motives from Trio I. A final traversal of the main theme closes this delectable movement.

The finale bubbles with the rhythmic energy and high spirits of a Haydn symphony.

The main theme starts with a unison gesture in the strings, but soon becomes harmonically active and spreads through the orchestra. The second theme is a broad, hymnal melody initiated by the strings. The development section, like that of many of Haydn’s finales, begins with a statement of the main theme in the tonic before branching into discussion of the movement’s motives. The recapitulation recalls the earlier themes, and leads with an inexorable drive through the triumphant coda (based on the hymnal melody) to the brazen glow of the final trombone chord.

2011-2012 SEASON

GABRIELA MONTERO Gabriela Montero’s visionary interpretations and unique improvisational gifts have won her a quickly expanding audience and devoted following around the world. “I connect to my audience in a completely unique way – and they connect with me. Because improvisation is such a huge part of who I am, it is the most natural and spontaneous way I can express myself”. Today, in both recital and after performing a concerto, Gabriela often invites her audience to participate in asking for a melody for improvisations.

Born in Caracas Venezuela, Gabriela gave her first public performance at the age of five. Aged eight she made her concerto debut with the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra conducted by Jose Antonio Abreu and was granted a scholarship from the Venezuelan Government to study in the USA. Gabriela’s previous engagements include acclaimed performances with the New York Philharmonic, LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, Philharmonia Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, Rotterdam Philharmonic, with the UBS Verbier Chamber Orchestra at the Tuscan Sun Festival, Klavier Festival Ruhr, Koln Philharmonie, Tonhalle Dusseldorf, Istanbul International Festival, Kennedy Center Washington DC, National Arts Centre Ottawa, Orchard Hall Tokyo and at the ‘Progetto Martha Argerich’ Festival in Lugano where she is invited annually.

This season, Gabriela made her debut with the WDR Sinfonieorchestre Köln. Other engagements included Sydney Symphony, 40 pittsburghsymphony.org

Pittsburgh Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, Colorado Symphony and in recital she made her debut tour with DEAG to include the Konzerthaus Berlin, Alte Sendersaal Frankfurt and the Kampnagelfabrik Hamburg. She concluded the season with her San Francisco Symphony debut.

The summer includes an appearance in her native Venezuela with Gustavo Dudamel and the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolivar, the current tour with the Youth Orchestra of the Americas, and two debuts at major summer music festivals. In August, she will debut in Austria’s Salzburg Festival together with French cellist Gautier Capuçon before traveling to Highland Park, IL for the Ravinia Festival.

Gabriela’s first EMI/Angel CD consisted of one disc of music by Rachmaninov, Chopin and Liszt and a second of her deeply felt and technically brilliant improvisations. Her EMI CD Bach and Beyond is a complete disc of improvisations on themes by Bach which topped the charts for several months. In February 2008 her follow up EMI recording of improvisations Baroque, was released with great critical acclaim receiving 5 star reviews from BBC Music Magazine and Classic FM. Solatino, a disc of piano music by South American composers along with Gabriela’s own improvisations, is scheduled for release in 2011.
