Repertoire

“Creating a dialogue among music genres not commonly present in the concert hall is extremely important. Putting folkloric, urban, and popular music genres from Latin American cultures in the same space as classical music is a form to decentralize the eurocentrism created around concert music. The repertoire list below represents my view of what modern musicians should learn and perform. Promoting the richness of the African Diaspora and Native American music and culture is the best strategy to create a dialogue among different music genres.” - Dr. Felipe Zaccarias de Brito
