“Yes, I am Brazilian, thoroughly Brazilian. In my music, I let the rivers and seas of this great Brazil sing. I place no brakes or restraints, nor do I muzzle the tropical exuberance of our forests and skies”, declared Heitor Villa-Lobos. He put these ideals into practice in Floresta do Amazonas, a large-scale suite based on pre-Columbian Amazonian legends. Nature, territory and the many traditions of Brazilian culture are also the ingredients that inspire visual artist Bianca Dacosta, who will engage in a dialogue with Villa-Lobos’s masterpiece in this very special concert.
