Carlos Barbosa-Lima in concert
Brazilian Classical Guitar
Sunday, December 20 at 4 p.m. $30; $25 Academy members; $20 students with ID
No other performer evokes the sweetness and fire of great music like this modest master. Trained from childhood by the great composer and performer
Isaias Savio, Carlos went on to study with Andrés Segovia, and has recorded and performed around the world since the age of 12. His approach to music is classical, but his playing combines many styles—Brazilian, popular and jazz. “Perhaps it was because of my own development in Brazil, where we do not have this airtight division between classical and popular,” explains Barbosa-Lima. “I always felt a great affinity for the popular style treated in a classical way.” He has transcribed compositions by Scarlatti, Bach, Handel, and even Joplin and has successfully arranged works by Gershwin, Sondheim, Cole Porter and many Brazilian composers. He has recorded many CDs for Concord Jazz, and the Zoho label.
