Soul Of Brazil

Hailed as Oregon's "finest chamber ensemble" (ArtsWatch) the Delgani String Quartet's first AVIE appearance was on Icarus, an album of chamber works by award-winning composer Elena Ruehr. A leading musical light of the Pacific Northwest, the Delganis devote their new release to music from south of the border. Soul of Brazil epitomises the adventurous, vibrant and passionate qualities of the South American country, blending classical and popular styles - the suave sounds of Grammy-nominated Clarice Assad's vocals, piano and electronics, new music and arrangements of songs by Antônio Carlos Jobim, alongside the Sixth String Quartet of Heitor Villa-Lobos
