Strong and original, ancient and modern, Heloísa Fernandes’ music blossoms with rhythmic vitality and melodic delicacy, a style that has garnered her worldwide attention.
Taking up piano at the age of four, Heloísa Fernandes has been a force ever since. A student of famed pianists Paulo Gori and Gilberto Tinetti, she cultivated her taste for classical music under their mentorship and in 2001, was a finalist in Brazil’s leading musical competition—the Prêmio Visade Música Brasileira.
Her original compositions are profoundly influenced by literature, poetry, nature, classical music, jazz and Brazilian music. The Post and Courier describes her unique talent as “beyond categorization.” One listen and it’s easy to see why.
