Montero
is among the premier classical pianists in the world – a protégé of the legendary Martha Argerich and
a tireless advocate of the lost art of classical improvisation. The world took notice of her great talent during the recent
performance at the Presidential Inauguration with Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman. She is known for taking suggestions from the
audience, which she uses to compose her trademark on-the-spot improvisations. “One note begins,” she says, “and
the rest follow. To be able to walk out on stage and not know what’s going to happen, to just create it at that moment,
it’s wonderful.” Master Class for area piano students open to the public in the Recital Hall Friday, October 9 at
6 pm. This program has been made possible by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National
Endowment for the Arts.
