Pianist, musicologist, and serial champion of the under-represented, Samantha Ege has a special affinity with Florence Price, whose highly charged Sonata launches a recital that also nudges the dial towards Cuba with works by Odaline de la Martinez and Camila Cortina Bello. Mexico yields an irresistibly fidgety study by Gabriela Ortiz, and East meets West in Chen Yi’s variations on a Chinese folk song. 

Her Stories

Milton Court Concert Hall

Camila Cortina Bello is a pianist, educator, musicologist and composer. Born in Havana, Cuba in 1988, she has taken the stage in her home country and has performed for audiences around the world. Her music intends to re-imagine the sounds and rhythms of her original Cuban roots through the lens of jazz, classical and world music. She feels like fusion and cross-overs are as intrinsic to her work as to her “mulato” DNA. The memories she carries from her home country play a very important role on her artistic identity, but also the realities that has surrounded her while living away.
