SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Opening Concert with João Luiz Rezende at WSHU Studios
DESCRIPTION:Friday Evening Concert with João Luiz Rezende at WSHU Studios\n\n\nJoão Luiz Rezende\nTwo-time Latin Grammy-nominee guitarist\, educator\, and composer João Luiz Rezende began to play the popular music of his native Brazil professionally during his childhood and was later trained in classical guitar by his mentor Henrique Pinto. Winner of the 2006 Concert Artists Guild Competition as a member of the critically acclaimed Brasil Guitar Duo\, Rezende has performed extensively in the United States\, Asia\, Europe and Latin America. As a performer and composer Rezende is equally at home with classical\, Brazilian and world music. His solo guitar\, chamber music\, and concerto repertoire covers all the main works in the guitar literature from Dowland to Berio\, and Brazilian rhythms from choro to baião. His versatility led him to be chosen to collaborate with Yo-Yo Ma and Carlos Prieto on a project to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Cuban composer Leo Brouwer in a landmark concert in Cuba in 2014. \nHis arrangements and compositions have been recorded and played by Marina Piccinini\, Fábio Zanon\, Quaternaglia\, Olson/De Cari Duo\, Danilo Brito\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Clarice Assad\, Bridget Kibbey\, Jiji\, Sybarite 5\, D-Composed\, Plínio Fernandes\, The Newman & Oltman guitar duo\, Aquarelle Guitar Quartet\, David Leisner\, and the New York City Classical Guitar Society. \nRezende’s harp concerto Recife written for Bridget Kibbey was premiered by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra in 2019. His concertino for guitar and strings MadriAfro I was premiered in New York by the São Paulo Chamber Soloists in 2022. João’s most recent work\, Saravá\, for string quartet and guitar was premiered at the São Paulo Symphony hall receiving rave reviews as one of the highlights of the season. Rezende’s work received one of Brazil’s most prestigious award for the arts: the APCA 2024 as the best new work premiere. \nRecent commissions include works for the USC Thornton School of Music guitar department\, NYC Master Chorale\, Duo Amaris\, GFA\, Duo Sonidos and USGO. Rezende has recorded more than twenty CDs\, playing solo\, duo\, trio and in quartet\, most of which have featured his arrangements of classical or Brazilian works. Rezende also formed the Trio Virado with flutist Amy Porter and violist Jaime Amador to promote contemporary Latin American chamber music. The first CD of the trio\, Mangabeira\, was released in the fall of 2015 and featured world premiere recordings of works written specially for the trio by Assad\, Hand\, and Brouwer. Rezende’s most recent solo album\, Central Guitar\, features twentieth-century guitar works by Brazilian composers such as Gnattali\, Guarnieri\, and Gismonti. For his 2022 solo debut for Zoho Music\, From Spain to São Paulo\, Rezende highlighted works by Sor\, Torroba\, Mompou\, and Segovia for Spanish guitar. Two of Rezende’s most ambitious recording projects will be released in 2025: Os Guardiães da Magia-Leo Brouwer por João Luiz and The 24 Studies by Sérgio Assad. \nRezende holds a masters degree from Mannes College. As the recipient of the Augustine Foundation scholarship\, he earned his doctoral degree from Manhattan School of Music. Eager to expand the repertoire of his instrument Rezende has commissioned and premiered works written for him by Sérgio Assad (24 Studies)\, Leo Brouwer (Sonatas No. 7 and No. 10)\, Clarice Assad\, David Leisner\, Ronaldo Miranda\, Mariel Mayz\, Sebastian Zubieta\, Marco Pereira\, David Sampson\, Frederic Hand and Dusan Bogdanovic. Rezende is the Director of Chamber Music at CUNY Hunter College and guitar professor at Yale School of Music. He is a recipient of the prestigious 2023 CUNY Feliks Gross award in recognition of his outstanding scholarship.
