About the Performance
Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras No. 9 opens the program, followed by an intoxicating arrangement of Strauss' "Dance of the Seven Veils" by Brazilian-American composer Clarice Assad. Santoro's calming Ponteio is paired with Billboard hits like "Tico-Tico no fubá" and "Desafinado." Brazilian conductors Daniel Lima and Juliano Aniceto, both students of Marin Alsop, grace the stage for this episode that celebrates the music of Brazil.
