Wilmer and Morelenbaum’s collaboration began with the idea of celebrating Veloso’s 80th birthday. Focusing on Veloso’s brilliance as a composer—beyond his greatness as a poet and singer—the duo has created a showcase and journey through his distinctive, distinctly Brazilian, instrumental music.
The concert will feature Morelenbaum performing his original arrangements of Jobim’s music with a string orchestra, followed by a 10-piece ensemble led by Wilmer and Morelenbaum. This ensemble will include flutists Maiara Moraes and Yulia Musayelyan and drummer Rafael Barata playing the music of Veloso.
Morelenbaum is a cellist, composer, arranger, and musical producer who has collaborated with prominent figures in Brazilian music, including Veloso, Jobim, Gilberto Gil, and Egberto Gismonti. He has recorded and arranged/produced some of the most important recordings in Brazilian music. His classic recordings with the Quarteto Jobim–Morelenbaum, featuring pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto, are available internationally on Sony Music.
Wilmer is a saxophonist, composer, arranger, and music producer active in both Brazil and the United States. She is well-known in the jazz and Brazilian instrumental music scenes and has worked with Gismonti, Ra-Kalam Bob Moses, Frank Carlberg, and many others.
