Description
How does it feel to give up your entire life and move to a foreign land? In her recital, Gabriela Montero questions musical rootlessness when all certainties collapse. The music of three Russian emigrants who saw no place for themselves in the young Soviet Union encounter Montero’s own journey into them unknown: The star pianist from Venezuela improvises a soundtrack to Charlie Chaplin’s silent film »The Immigrant« (1917) that is being shown on the big screen.
