Brazilian popular music is a kaleidoscope of rhythmic patterns which have been associated with various percussion instruments since colonial times. Classical composers have always been captivated by this rich rhythmic variety. This concert will showcase the creative ways in which classical composers used these rhythms in their works.

The program will feature works from several generations of Brazilian composers, including Villa-Lobos, Ernesto Nazareth, Sergio Vasconcellos-Corrêa, Fábio Neves and Alberto Rosenblit.
