"Brazilian piano star making waves with his sensual mix of lush traditional arrangements laced with cutting edge technique and contemporary harmony makes his UK debut here tonight. Catch him here before he starts selling out bigger venues" TIME OUT
(Critics' Choice)
The Brazilian pianist makes his UK debut at the Vortex. The concert, which immediately follows an artistic residence in Austria, and concerts in Morocco and Spain, will include themes from Brazilian music, embracing both its traditions and modern expressions and fusing these with other world music influences.
The themes are also based on his most recent CD, recorded at Fazioli Salon, New York's piano house, which will be launched in the US by Adventure Music in 2009.
Benjamim also will be doing a tour and an artistic residence in Morocco with his quartet; two concerts in Spain, and in Austria he will perform with his two ensembles: Moderna Tradição and Núcleo de Música do Abacaí.
