Her visionary interpretations and unique compositional gifts have garnered her critical acclaim and a devoted following on the world stage. Born in Venezuela, Montero started her piano studies at age four, making her concerto debut at age eight in her hometown of Caracas. This led to a scholarship from the government to study privately in the USA and then at the Royal Academy of Music in London with the late Hamish Milne, where she is also a fellow. Celebrated for her exceptional musicality and ability to improvise, Montero has performed with many of the world’s leading orchestras while also being a frequent recitalist and chamber musician on the international stage.

Happy Birthday, Dmitri Shostakovich! September 25

Happy Birthday, Dmitri Shostakovich!

September 25, 1906—August 9, 1975

Soviet-era Russian composer Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich lived his life in a constant state of surveillance. His relationship with his government was an unending source of uncertainty. Even so, he became one of the most impactful composers of the 20th century with a vast musical output that includes fifteen symphonies, six concerti, fifteen string quartets, three operas, three ballets, solo piano works, chamber music, and music for theatre and film.

Calidore String Quartet with pianist Gabriela Mont

Calidore String Quartet with pianist Gabriela Montero
Saturday, October 19, 2024 • 7 pm

The Calidore String Quartet is recognized as one of the world’s foremost interpreters of a vast chamber music repertory, from the cycles of quartets by Beethoven and Mendelssohn to works of celebrated contemporary voices like György Kurtág, Jörg Widmann, and Caroline Shaw. The Los Angeles Times described the musicians as “astonishing,” their playing “shockingly deep,” approaching “the kind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime searching.” The New York Times noted the Quartet’s “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct,” and BBC Music Magazine said the Calidore’s performances “penetrate right to the heart of the music.”

In their most ambitious recording project to date, the Calidore is set to release the complete Beethoven’s String Quartets for Signum Records in the 24/25 season. Volume I, containing the late quartets, was released in 2023 to great critical acclaim. Their previous recordings on Signum include titles Babel with music by Schumann, Shaw and Shostakovich, and Resilience with works by Prokofiev, Janáček, Golijov and Mendelssohn.
