Conducted by Marin Alsop

An exuberant score full of dance rhythms by the contemporary composer Marlos Nobre is followed by an exquisite example of Brazilian melancholy, saudade, from the pen of the man who put Brazil on the musical map, Heitor Villa-Lobos. Later on, players from the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor Marin Alsop are joined by members of the São Paulo Jazz Symphony Orchestra for a landmark celebration of Brazilian popular music from the past 100 years.

Introduced by BBC Radio 3’s Andrew McGregor and Brazilian singer and songwriter Monica Vasconcelos. Show less
