Jobim Symphonic

Two of Brazil's most beloved voices, Joyce Moreno and Zé Renato, take the stage at the Maison Symphonique alongside more than forty musicians to bring to life selections from four albums Jobim recorded in the final decades of his life: Matita Perê, Urubu, Terra Brasilis and Passarim. Also on the program: classics of bossa nova and a few forays into samba. These are not only the songs you already know by heart. They are also the songs Jobim wrote when he stopped trying to conquer the world and began trying to understand Brazil — its forests, its rivers, its birds, its sorrow, its impossible beauty. 

Come hear what Jobim heard. Come hear what Brazil sounds like when it dreams. 

He wrote about rain falling on a rose bush. He wrote about the vulture circling above the city. He wrote about a small bird whose name no one can agree on — the passarim — and in doing so, he wrote about everything.
