Heloísa Fernandes Quartet

“Fernandes is beyond categorization,” writes The Post and Courier. Heloísa Fernandes is a Brazilian pianist and composer whose musical talents have exported the culture and traditions of her native country to music halls around the world. Her compositions and arrangements reflect her interests in literature, poetry, nature, classical, jazz, and Brazilian music, yielding sublime creations that blossom with rhythmic vitality and melodic delicacy. A highly skilled improviser, she searches her emotional depths and makes them soar with joy. Together with her quartet, Fernandes blends tradition and modernity to stimulate spontaneous creation. 

Musicians in the quartet are: Heloísa Fernandes, piano; Toninho Carrasqueira, flute; Sidiel Vieira, double bass; and Ari Colares, percussion.
