NOTE TO OTTAWA LISTENERS:
Our next Studio 40 session is on Thursday, Nov. 15, with pianist Gabriela Montero. She is known for both her classical skill and her unique improvisational talents. The accomplished Venezuelan musican says that sometimes she doesn't even know what she'll play until she sits down at the piano. At our Studio 40, Gabriela Montero will perform a few pieces she has selected -- and some chosen by our studio audience. You can be part of that audience. Come to the lobby of the Ottawa Broadcast Centre, 181 Queen St. The live session begins at 12:00 but seating will be limited. First come, first served.
RELIVE SOME OF OUR BEST STUDIO SESSIONS!
