Featuring Brian Rice & the Berkeley Choro Ensemble

This varied program highlights a range of beautiful music from Brazil, including the world premiere of a concerto for pandeiro, the Brazilian tambourine. We also present Milhaud’s uproarious work “Le Bœuf sur le Toit” (envisioned by the composer to be played with any film by Charlie Chaplin), providing a lighthearted finale to the season.

Clarice Assad – Brazilian Fanfare
Felipe Senna – Choro Suite & Concerto for Pandeiro and Orchestra (world premiere)
Darius Milhaud – Le Bœuf sur le Toit (with screening of Charlie Chaplin’s The Adventurer)
