The music of Heloísa Fernandes is the sound of a woman free to study literature, poetry, nature, classical music, jazz, Brazilian music, free to let them shape her identity, to let her identity flow into compositions. Strong and original, ancient and modern, her sublime creations blossom with rhythmic vitality and melodic delicacy. With her skill as an improviser she searches their emotional depths and soars with joy. “Fernandes is beyond categorization,” wrote the Post and Courier of her American debut, “She is herself, and I’ll always be interested in any music she cares to explore.”
As part of our ongoing Brazilian Series: Oí Brazil, Fernandes will perform one night only in Chicago at the Sanctuary at the Epiphany Center for the Arts.
