KAMUELA — This Sunday at 4 p.m., Kahilu Theatre will present the 2nd installment of the Kahilu Steinway Series with acclaimed Brazilian composer and pianist Jovino Santos Neto.
A three-time Latin Grammy nominee, he is among the top Brazilian musicians working today. Neto’s personal style is a creative blend of energetic grooves, deep harmonies, telepathic improvisation and lyrical melodies inspired and informed by the colorful richness of Brazilian music. His compositions include samba, choro, baião, xote, forró, marcha and many more styles, rooted in centuries-old musical tradition while pointing to new and adventurous harmonic languages.
In his solo piano recitals, Neto explores all the possibilities of the instrument, combining the rhythmic and harmonic audacity of his mentor Hermeto Pascoal’s pieces with his own Brazilian tone poems, spanning the distance between lyrical and effervescent within a few measures. He also pays tribute to some of the great Brazilian composers like Jobim, Pixinguinha and Ernesto Nazareth. His commentaries on the music are enlightening and educating, providing the audience with a unique musical experience.
The Steinway Series showcases Kahilu Theatre’s Model D Steinway Concert Grand piano at accessible ticket prices.
Doors will open at 3 p.m. Tickets are $8-28 per person and are available for purchase online at www.kahilutheatre.org or by calling 885-6868.
The Steinway Series is made possible by generous sponsorships from Mike and Ruth Bernstone, Sharon Cornish-Martin, Karen Ferrara, Betty and Lee Meyerson, Dr. Marcia Wishnick and Mr. Stanley Wishnick, and Other Friends of Kahilu.
