A trail-blazing initiative from Brazil, the Bahia Orchestra
Project assembles the prodigious talents of young
musicians into one powerhouse ensemble. Like
Venezuela’s acclaimed El Sistema (which brought Gustavo
Dudamel to the United States), this youth orchestra
vigorously tackles traditional repertoire and new works
while winning over audiences and garnering effusive
praise from critics. In their debut North American tour,
they are joined by the gifted pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet,
known for his charismatic interpretations and dazzling
technical prowess.
