Join us for an intimate evening of music, wine and food with pianist Gabriela Martinez and Maestro Peter Jaffe. This event will provide ample opportunity to interact with Ms. Martinez, Maestro Jaffe and fellow symphony supporters. The recital will take place in Stage 3 at the Harris Center followed by a reception on the Harris Center mezzanine.

Attendance is limited. Reception tickets can be purchased through the symphony’s website tix.com. Tickets are not sold through the Harris Center.

Venezuelan pianist Gabriela Martinez has a reputation for the lyricism of her playing, her compelling interpretations, and her elegant stage presence. Her playing has been described as “magical… a remarkable pianist, with a cool determination, a tone full of glowing color and a seemingly effortless technique” (Mark Swed/LA Times) and “compelling…versatile, daring and insightful” (New York Times).

She’s performed with the San Francisco, Chicago and Houston symphonies and was the first-prize winner of the Anton G. Rubenstein International Piano Competition in Dresden, and a semifinalist at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

Enjoy Ms. Martinez performing an excerpt from Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 with Gustavo Dudamel.
