_____________________

Camargo Guarnieri loved writing for the human voice, composing hundreds of vocal works over the course of his long and distinguished career. The works in this programme all use texts by Mário de Andrade – a hugely influential writer who was Guarnieri’s friend and long-term collaborator. The comic opera Pedro Malazarte is representative of an attractively unconventional and colourful Brazilian modernism that sets it apart from Romantic traditions. Alongside other powerful settings, A Serra do Rola-Moça is one of Guarnieri’s finest dramatic vocal works, narrating the tragic story of two young people who die on their wedding day as they and their horses plunge into a ravine.

Roberto Minczuk is a distinguished Brazilian conductor and French horn player who began his career as a child prodigy, becoming principal horn of the Orquestra Sinfônica Municipal de São Paulo at age 13. A Juilliard graduate, he made his international conducting debut with the New York Philharmonic, later serving as its associate conductor before leading over 100 international orchestras. Throughout his career, he has held major artistic leadership roles with the Calgary Philharmonic, Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira, and Osesp. A Latin Grammy winner and American Grammy nominee for Jobim Sinfônico, Minczuk currently serves as principal conductor of the Orquestra Sinfônica Municipal de São Paulo.
