Three masters make their world premiere as a trio at Casa da Música. Cristóvão Bastos (piano), Jorge Helder (double bass), and Ricardo Silveira (guitar) — also revered as conductors, composers, arrangers, and producers — are among the top names on their instruments in Brazil. Over the years, they have shared the stage and studio with the country’s leading stars. What once seemed like a dream — bringing this trio of sidemen together for a concert of their own repertoire — is now about to come true. We are privileged to witness the beginning of an adventure that promises to have a long and fruitful life. Chico Pinheiro, a prodigious guitarist and composer of rare prestige in Brazil, with two albums nominated for the Latin Grammy, blends Brazilian music, classical, and jazz fluidly. The São Paulo star brings his powerful quartet, whose sound reveals a rich tapestry of influences: from Chopin to Jobim, from Debussy to Coltrane, and from Wayne Shorter to Caetano. — Casa da Música
