Jay K. Hoffman presents "The Villa-Lobos Event", a concert conceived and directed by Marcelo Bratke, pianist, with Dory Caymmi (guitar and voice) and Rosana Lamosa (soprano) as special guests. This event, a prelude to the upcoming 50th aniversary of Villa-Lobos' death in 2009, wants to tell with music the stories of the people of Brazil. These are stories about nature inspired by the forests, the rivers and the seas of Brazil, as well as by the colorful rhythms of Carnival and Brazil's musical diversity. This unique listening experience will be offered in 3 parts: a) Villa-Lobos: The Children's world & Brazil (lullabys, dreams, fishermen and more); b) Villa-Lobos and Bach (Bachianas Brasileiras no. 2, 4 and 5) and c) Villa-Lobos: Samba, Love & Nature (influences on Tom Jobim, Claudio Santoro and others). At Zanken Hall at Carnegie Hall (7th Avenue, between 56th and 57th Streets), at 7:30pm. Tickets: $15.00. All seats reserved and on sale at box office or at www.carnegiehall.org, or call (212) 247-7800. For more information about program and interpreters, write to
