This lecture-in-concert explores the relationship between the landscape architecture and art of Roberto Burle Marx and the musical compositions of his brother Walter, taking as a point of departure their different childhoods and how they impacted each artist’s creative output. An internationally-acclaimed pianist and conductor, who worked with some of the most celebrated orchestras in the world and fellow Brazilian modernists including Heitor Villa-Lobos and Francisco Mignone, Walter settled in Philadelphia to teach and compose, producing an extensive output of works of various genres.
Directed by Thiago Tiberio, President of the Burle Marx Music Society, and performed by the Fourth Estate Project musicians, the concert will include a lecture by Walter’s last surviving daughter, Leonora, punctuated by selections of her father’s chamber music.
