Richard Boukas

Welcome to the PROJECTS PAGE.

Each subpage (dropdowns of this main page) represents a major Brazilian music project I produced apart from my current ENSEMBLES.

Some projects are previous DUO collaborations, including recordings and live performances.

Other projects are Brazilian repertoire programs I produced at The New School for Performing Arts (Jazz School and Mannes) where I have been faculty for thirty-three years. 

These include programs by my Brazilian Choro Ensemble, Brazilian Jazz Ensemble and collaborations with Mannes.

Also featured is the QUEENS COLLEGE YEAR OF BRAZIL, which featured a variety of concerts including my choral arrangements for the Queens College Vocal Ensemble under the direction of James John.

Explore these diverse projects representing original compositions and works of illustrious Brazilian masters.
