Villa-Lobos Festival

"K2T Wisata"

Those who love popular Brazilian music and are currently enjoying vacations in Rio de Janeiro cannot miss the chance to attend the 48th Villa Lobos Festival. From November 12th to 28th, the festival is taking music to 60 different points of the city of Rio de Janeiro. All performances are free of charge.
The Villa-Lobos Festival is a tribute to the Brazilian composer of the same name, who introduced the country in the international musical scene. The approximately 1000 pieces Villa-Lobos composed were highly valued outside borders.
It is the only event in Rio de Janeiro that allows for the incorporation of new interpreters, soloists and composers, who will present themselves through concerts, shows, didactic activities, workshops and film screenings.
This year, news are the premiere of an unknown piece: “Cânticos Sertanejos”, which Villa-Lobos wrote when he was 20 years old, and the program “Redescovering Villa-Lobos” which includes a chamber music concert with less popular Villa-Lobos pieces for piano solo and instrumental ensembles.
