Event Description:

In a program designed around a musically illustrated discussion, the
internationally renowned pianist Gabriela Montero will discuss her
evolution as an improvisational artist and creative dissenter. Her
growth as an artist and leader has been greatly informed by the human
rights and political crises in her home country of Venezuela. Montero
will consider fundamental questions about improvisation: What is it,
to a classical musician? She will explore how improvisation works on a
bio-neurological basis, presenting fMRI studies done on her own brain.
She will consider how musicians can choose to use improvisation as a
reactive and informational device — and even as a tool of protest and
dissent. In the context of the crisis in Venezuela, Montero will
address her role as a "musical journalist." She will ask how moral
choices affect the decision to compose and whether composition can
effect any significant and enduring social change. Register online.
