Brazilian Voices, the acclaimed female vocal group, presents “Jazz Across Cultures,” highlighting the importance of jazz as an international language that builds connections and community inclusion through live musical experiences. This concert showcases the multiple influences within Jazz and Pop, both in Brazil and in the US, over the past 60 years.
The theme of the program explores the mutual influence of samba, bossa nova, and American jazz. With the “Girl Choir of South Florida” as special guests, the repertoire will cover songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gershwin, Milton Nascimento, Cole Porter, among others.
