For the past several years Dr. Laura Moore Pruett, associate professor of Music in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Merrimack College, has been working on a new critical edition of the two symphonies by the New Orleans-born pianist-composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-69). The research and editing project is finally bearing fruit. Her edition of his second symphony, Á Montevideo, had its premiere performance on Sunday, November 24, 2019, by the Reading Symphony Orchestra, conducted by George Ogata.
