To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Antônio Carlos Jobim (Tom Jobim), born in Rio de Janeiro, the Orchestre national de jazz de Montréal invites you to an evening that has never taken place before — and may never happen again.
Four Brazilian artists take the stage of the Maison Symphonique alongside more than forty musicians: Daniel Jobim, the maestro's grandson; Joyce Moreno; Zé Renato; and Mario Adnet — singer, arranger, and guitarist. Together, they bring to life several pieces drawn from the four great albums of Jobim's maturity — Matita Perê, Urubu, Terra Brasilis, and Passarim — along with some of his most beautiful songs: "Águas de Março," "Wave," "Tempo do Mar," "Dindi," "The Girl from Ipanema." These are not only the songs you already know by heart. They are also the songs Jobim composed when he stopped trying to conquer the world and began trying to understand Brazil — its forests, its rivers, its birds, its sadness, its impossible beauty.
Come hear what Jobim heard. Come hear what Brazil sounds like when it dreams.
