Kazem Abdullah, Conductor
Dame Evelyn Glennie, Percussion Soloist

The Orquestra de São Paulo is considered the most outstanding orchestra in Latin America. Honoring the rich musical traditions of South America, the ensemble will perform exciting works of well-known Brazilian composers.

The McCain Performance Series is among the world premiere performances of a new percussion concerto by Brazilian composer Marlos Nobre, commissioned specifically for Scottish percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie.

One of music’s most innovative and internationally acclaimed soloists, Glennie lost nearly all of her hearing by age 12, giving her a unique connection to music. Don’t miss this evening of breathtaking Brazilian exuberance and exhilarating Latin rhythms!
