Sat 20th February 2010, Doors 8:00pm, concert 8.30pm SEGUE and the University of Essex presents ADRIANO ADEWALE with special guests Lakeside Theatre, University of Essex University of Essex Artist in Residence Adriano Adewale will be joined by two special guests: fellow Brazilian composer and multi instrumentalist Marcelo Andrade and composer and guitarist Jonathan Preiss (Cartinga). Together they will perform a special concert exploring the work of 20th century Afro-Brazilian composer Pixinguinha. Living in Rio de Janeiro, Pixinguinha’s compositions were mainly in a style known as Chorinho and he was one of the first composers to incorporate Jazz and Improvisation in Brazilian music. Chorinho has many similarities to Baroque music, but with a distinctly Brazilian rhythm and flavour. Passionate, virtuoso, challenging, charming and fun, this concert will communicate the essence of Brazilian music and be a taster of the Brazilian Cultural Festival which Adriano will be curating as part of his residency at the Lakeside in May 2010. Featuring Adriano Adewale (percussion/xylophone), Marcelo Andrade (Flutes and Sax) and Jonathan Preiss (7 string acoustic guitar).  “…a fabulous range of sounds and rhythms reminiscent of the great Airto Moreira’s magic but with a personality of its own.” The Herald, Edinburgh www.adrianoadewale.co.uk   www.myspace.com/adrianoadewale ______________________________________________________________________ Booking information: Ticket Hotline: 01206 573948 Book Online: www.mercurytheatre.co.uk/artson5 In person: University Gallery Monday – Friday 11 – 5, Saturday 12 – 4 Tickets Full: £10.00, Concs: £7.00 << BACK TO WHAT'S ON << HOME
