featuring
Martin Kuuskmann, Bassoon
Shinpei Inoue, Flute
A program of deliciously vibrant and nostalgic classic “Choros” from Brazil's Belle Epoque, and Chamber Jazz compositions by Brazilian-American composer Miguel Kertsman. Composer and Pianist Miguel Kertsman is joined by Bassoonist Martin Kuuskmann, and Flutist Shinpei Inoue bringing this music to life in a uniquely intimate, fresh, and progressive approach. From traditional Chorinhos of Rio de Janeiro's golden days, to progressive textures, Mr. Kertsman’s unique compositional idiom, and indeed improvisation, this musical experience will not only transport the listener back to the sensuous salons of old Rio, but also propel one’s imagination into new musical landscapes.
