Brasiliansk musik är ofta förknippad med karneval och samba, spelad i livliga, energiska tempi och karaktäristiska rytmer. Men även melankoli och nostalgi är viktiga beståndsdelar i den brasilianska kulturen vilket öppnar för stora möjligheter till kontraster, inte minst inom konstmusiken. Inspirerade av den Brasilianska naturens överflöd och skönhet använder landets kompositörer ofta den lyriska karaktären för att beskriva färger, tecken, platser och andra kulturella element i sin musik.
Detta program med musik hämtat ur Paulo Steinbergs nya album “Alma Brasileira” (2017) tar oss med på en resa fylld av sådana musikaliska illustrationer och visar hur Ernesto Nazareth och Heitor Villa-Lobos får de brasilianska floderna och haven att sjunga!

As an ambassador for cultural exchange through music, Steinberg initiated a partnership with Música no Museu, an organization based in Rio de Janeiro that co-sponsors an annual competition, provides performance opportunities, and offers scholarships for young musicians. He often serves as an adjudicator in competitions, and offers master classes, lectures, workshops and performances in the U.S. and abroad.
