BRAZIL INDEPENDENCE CONCERT CELEBRATES CHORO MUSIC
Welson Tremura, Director
Assisted by Kenneth Metzker & Silviu Ciulei
Special Guests:
- Jeffrey Brooks, Clarinet
- José Valentino, Flute
Jacaré Choro (meaning ‘gator lament’) is a University of Florida’s Brazilian instrumental ensemble dedicated to Brazil’s rich musical heritage. For those already familiar with Brazilian music, we hope these rhythms and instrumental music will provoke feelings of saudade, or nostalgia for Brazil. For newcomers, we hope this introduction to Brazilian music will demonstrate why Brazilian music has developed such global appeal.
