"One of the brightest stars in Brazilian music, pianist André Mehmari will perform in the intimate Kay White Hall on March 27! His musicality spans the globe, moving freely between jazz, Brazilian, and classical music; and his instincts as a composer lead him to interpretations whose clarity often exceeds the original. Whether Jobim, Gershwin, or Monteverdi, his performances are definitive.

A unique feature of his concerts are improvisations based on audience suggestions of favorite tunes, compositions, musicians, or even abstract ideas. When NPR’s Ari Shapiro recently caught up with him, André did a fun experiment of improvising off of the All Things Considered theme song." (Promo Copy)
