He completed an inspiring masterclass in conducting with the Berlin Sinfonietta in Berlin in November.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second piece is Georges Bizet\u2019s popular \u201cCarmen\u201d Suite No 1, which draws on Spanish rhythms and colors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third masterwork returns the audience to Scandinavia, with Edvard Grieg\u2019s Piano Concerto in A Minor, performed by Dr. Gustavo do Carmo, piano studies coordinator and collaborative pianist at Kansas Wesleyan. He performs often as a soloist, with small groups, and with choirs and singers and dancers in the U.S. and Brazil. He is collaborative piano chair for the Kansas Music Teacher Association and a nationally certified teacher of music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGrieg\u2019s concerto is a testament to his nationalistic spirit, blending Norwegian folk influences with the grandeur of Romantic concerto traditions,\u201d do Carmo said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis should be an excellent concert,\u201d said Michelle Dolan, KWU&#8217;s executive director of music. \u201cDo Carmo is always an outstanding pianist, and Rosario has grown even more in artistry after his masterclass. The partnership between the two professors is virtuosic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Release by Jean Kozubowski<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":36818,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fine-arts"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
