Gagliano made her Carnegie Hall debut at age 20. She won first prize and best concerto prize at the National Chopin Piano Competition, and she was the only American semifinalist at the 2021 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw.

At the invitation of world-renowned pianist András Schiff, Gagliano appeared in recitals throughout Europe during the 2022-23 season. She has also made appearances at the Verbier Festival, Gilmore Festival, Ravinia Festival Aspen Music Festival, the National Philharmonic in Warsaw, and Salle Cortot in Paris.

In the 2023-24 season, she made concerto debuts with the Rochester Symphony and Galveston Symphony Orchestra, as well as performed recitals in Luxembourg, Vienna, and Miami. Her album Reflections was released by the Steinway & Sons label in 2021.
