The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY), one of New York’s leading cultural venues, presents Gabriela Montero, piano: Westward, on February 10, 2023 at 7:30pm ET at the Kaufmann Concert Hall. The concert will also be available for viewing online for 72 hours from time of broadcast. Tickets for both the in-person and livestream options start at $25 and are available at 92ny.org/event/gabriela-montero-piano.

Venezuelan pianist Gabriela Montero makes her first appearance at 92NY in Westward – a program exploring the immigrant experience. Montero presents works by three of Russia’s most prominent composers, each of whom emigrated to the US in the early 20th century (Prokofiev temporarily) to escape oppression in their homeland. Montero closes her program improvising in real time to a screening of Charlie Chaplin’s short film The Immigrant, the tale of an everyman immigrant making his journey across the ocean to America, and the work that inspired Montero to create Westward.
