Projects

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.

I invite you to explore these diverse projects representing my own compositions and works of illustrious Brazilian masters.
