Midweek Muse: Fernando Brandão
Fernando Brandão, jazz flute instructor, will perform an all-Brazilian program with his band.
Flutist, composer, author, and educator Fernando Brandão has performed as a bandleader, sideman, chamber musician, and soloist in his native Brazil and the U.S. Using concert, alto, and bass flutes and pífanos, he performs across an eclectic repertoire of traditional and contemporary Brazilian music styles, combining jazz improvisations with an authentic Brazilian sound. A leading educator in Brazilian music, he has given many lectures about its music styles, history, and composers.
On the performance faculty at Wellesley College as jazz flute instructor, Fernando will perform an all-Brazilian program with his band in our popular Midday/Midweek Muse series. This series presents 1-hour recitals by a faculty performance artist.
