Berklee Performance Center presents a celebration of Brazilian music through two of the most important Brazilian composers—Antônio Carlos “Tom” Jobim and Caetano Veloso, and featuring legendary cellist/producer Jaques Morelenbaum with saxophonist Gaia Wilmer, Berklee World Strings directed by Eugene Friesen, and Berklee’s top faculty and student soloists. 
Wilmer and Morelenbaum’s collaboration started with an idea to celebrate 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, and distinctly Brazilian, instrumental music.
The concert will include Morelenbaum with a string orchestra performing his original arrangements of Jobim’s music followed by a 10-piece ensemble led by Wilmer and Jaques, featuring flutists Maiara Moraes, Yulia Musayelyan, and drummer Rafael Barata playing the music of Veloso.
Morelenbaum is a cellist, composer, arranger, and musical producer who has worked with great names of Brazilian music such as Veloso himself, Jobim, Gilberto Gil, and Egberto Gismonti. Morelenbaum has recorded and arranged/produced some of the most important recordings of Brazilian music. In addition, 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 who is active both in Brazil and the United States. Wilmer is well-known in the jazz and Brazilian instrumental music scene and has worked with Gismonti, Ra-Kalam Bob Moses, Frank Carlberg, and many others.
