The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Ideas of oppression and resilience are woven throughout Wagner's rarely heard Rienzi Overture and Mendelssohn's monumental "Reformation" Symphony, a heartfelt work inspired by the composer's Protestant faith. Visionary pianist-composer Gabriela Montero showcases her astonishing powers in Babel, a portrait of her experience as a human rights activist.
