May 19, 2013 12:00 PM Mélomanie + Minas at World Cafe Live Delaware

Baroque & contemporary music plus Brazilian jazz.

Wilmington ensemble Mélomanie pairs Baroque music performed on period instruments with contemporary compositions, highlighting connections across centuries. They frequently commission new works and have built relationships with many living composers, including Brazilian composer Sergio Roberto de Oliveira. Mélomanie is Tracy Richardson, harpsichord; Kimberly Reighley, flute; Douglas McNames, cello; Donna Fournier, viola da gamba; and Christof Richter, violin.

Minas, formed by Orlando Haddad and Patricia King, takes Brazilian music to new realms, creating a sound that is imaginative, evocative and intimate. Minas composes original music for voice, piano, guitar and a range of accompanying instruments with roots in classical, jazz, Big Band and Brazilian folk music.

In this brunch concert, Mélomanie and Minas explore the diverse landscape of Brazilian music, from classical to pop to jazz, with world premiere compositions by both Sergio Roberto de Oliveira and Orlando Haddad.

Since 2008, LiveConnections has served as a creator and curator of innovative, cross-genre music experiences.
