Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates 60 years of Bossa Nova
After a successful first edition in 2016, Brasil Sinfônico returns to Rotterdam. This year the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra shares the stage with Grammy Award winners singer Vanessa da Mata and pianist/singer/composer Daniel Jobim. Indeed, the grandson of composer Antônio Carlos ("Tom") Jobim who became world famous for bossa nova's such as The Girl from Ipanema and who also wrote a symphony.
The theme of this second edition of Brasil Sinfônico is Bossa Nova, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of this musical genre. Bossa Nova is a movement within Brasilian popular music that has started in the late 1950's. Spearheading the movement are the legendary singers/composers Antonio Carlos "Tom) Jobim (photo) , João Gilberto, Vinicius de Moraes and the young generation from the southern part of Rio de Janeiro. Bossa Nova has strong influences from samba and jazz. At the end of the 1960's, Bossa Nova was discovered by American jazz musicians and developed into one of the most influential and world-famous movements within Brazilian music history. The English version of "The Girl from Ipanema" (performed by Astrud Gilberto) has become Brazil's biggest international hit, even to this day.
Redondo Events is partner of Brasil Sinfônico. Right from the start, Program Director Alaor Soares has been closely involved and responsible for the artistic implementation of the project.
