Passos Brasileiros: Album Release Concert

  • Dimenna Center for Classical Music 450 West 37th Street New York, NY, 10018 United States (map)

Come celebrate the release of Toomai String Quintet’s new album, Passos Brasileiros (Brazilian Steps)! Passos Brasileiros honors rich musical legacy, this concert features Toomai’s original arrangements of popular songs by Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, and Dona Ivone Lara (the “First Lady of Samba”); jazz-influenced works by Hermeto Pascoal and Léa Freire; and classical selections by Chiquinha Gonzaga, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Paulinho Nogueira. Passos Brasileiros embraces works from several beloved Brazilian traditions—choro, samba, Brazilian jazz, classical music, and Música Popular Brasileira (MPB)—and reinvents them for string quintet.
