This Carnaval Trilogy programme brings to the platform the evocative sounds of Brazilian classical and popular music in a dialogue inspired by an historic encounter in Rio de Janeiro in 1916 between Villa-Lobos, Nazareth and Milhaud, unveiling the new face of Brazilian culture and producing the 'Two Brazils' unified by music without boundaries
