Sounds of Brazil with Hamilton de Holanda
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra
The JLCO lights up Rose Theater with a high-energy celebration of Brazilian jazz, powered by Latin Grammy-winning bandolim virtuoso Hamilton De Holanda, whose dynamic musicianship drives the night from start to finish. The music of Moacir Santos, the pioneering composer who helped define Brazil’s modern musical identity, comes alive alongside Holanda’s own electrifying new works, creating a performance bursting with rhythm, color, and the unmistakable pulse of Brazil.
On Saturday, June 13, arrive early for a complimentary watch party for the Morocco vs. Brazil World Cup match in the Ertegun Atrium beginning at 6:00 p.m., with the excitement carrying seamlessly into that evening’s 8:00 p.m. performance.
Generous support for this concert series is provided by Robert and Helen Appel.
