Em 2011, promovi com os projetistas de acústica José Augusto Nepomuceno e Christopher Blair um painel de músicos para “escutar” a Sala Cecília Meireles e apontar as virtudes e defeitos de uma acústica que era considerada muito boa mas que poderia ser melhorada. A Orquestra Petrobras Sinfônica dirigida por Carlos Prazeres tocou a Sinfonia nº 1 de Prokofiev. As observações dos músicos que estavam no palco e na plateia, e os testes do INMETRO foram fundamentais para a elaboração do projeto que colocou a Sala entre as melhores do mundo para a música de câmara. (Assistam ao mini-documentário em youtu.be/zXYZPNOvCrY?si=BiPjO6sCDhnlAwPn)Hoje, sigo para Salvador para juntar-me a colegas músicos, a Nepomuceno e outros consultores de acústica no painel de escuta do Teatro Castro Alves, que encontra-se em reforma. Fico muito feliz que a iniciativa de 2011 tenha sido adotada como prática e espero que sejamos sempre convidados a emprestar nossos ouvidos e emitir opinião nos projetos de construção ou reforma de salas de concertos e teatros. ...

Duet of Merenciana (Beatriz Simões) and her daughter Josefina (Luíza Lima) who despair with the tyrannical regime of daily exercises and rehearsals that the Quintino (Jessé Bueno) imposes on the family. The opera fanatic wants the two to sing excerpts from their favorite operas every day and even wants Josefina to marry a tenor to expand her repertoire. "O Diletante" — a comic opera based on the play of the same name by Brazilian writer Martins Pena — was commissioned by the UFRJ School of Music for the 20th anniversary of the Ópera na Escola project. It premiered in 2014 at Salão Leopoldo Miguez directed by José Henrique Moreira and conducted by André Cardoso.The full version of "O Diletante" is at youtu.be/vWPN_Yd21_8?si=-axdnGdF_YGPRblr ...

I am very fond of the energy with which the Orquesta de Cámara de Valdivia | OCV performs the final rondo of my "Concerto for Five No. 1," for wind quintet and strings in this 2019 vídeo recording! Not only the rhythmic opening theme, but also the second one, a Guarania with a more lyrical and dance-like character. Due to the positive reception of the piece, the OCV, which was conducted at the time by Emmanuele Baldini, commissioned me a "Concerto for Five No. 2," this time for quintet and string orchestra, which Baldini performed with the Vortz Orchestra at the Sala Minas.#classicalmusic #brazilianmusic ...
