About the orchestra
The musical group, conducted by Nelson Ayres and Tiago Costa, is especially dedicated to orchestral Brazilian popular music. Although they perform great Brazilian composers, this orchestra focuses on the compositions of Tom Jobim.
The performances are part of the training process of the scholarship musicians. They thus broaden the repertoire and experiences of the students involved in the project. The artistic group is linked to the EMESP Tom Jobim, an institution of the Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy of the São Paulo State Government. So, when you attend the show, as well as listening to the works of one of Brazil’s most celebrated composers, you’ll also be honoring the emerging names in orchestral music.
