“MY BRAZIL” IN WESTPORT: May 12

Paul Winter performs repertoire from his second musical home, Brazil, with some of his favorite Brazilian musicians: 
percussionist Vanderlei Pereira, bassist Gustavo Amarante, and guitarist Paul Meyers.

“My Brazil” will feature a range of Brazilian music, including songs by Carlos Lyra, Edu Lobo, and Antonio Carlos Jobim; Afro-samba music of Bahia, in Brazil’s northeast; carnival songs from Rio; and music of Brazil’s great composer Heitor Villa-Lobos.

The concert is to benefit  the KEYS (Kids Empowered by Your Support) program which provides one-to-one musical instrument lessons and group music instruction to underserved inner-city children in Bridgeport, CT, who have no other access to this empowering life experience.

KEYS was founded in 2004 when musician and music educator, Rob Silvan, volunteered to teach piano to four students in a hallway at Bridgeport’s Columbus School. KEYS now operates in 22 Bridgeport schools and provides music education to over 600 Bridgeport children every year.
