São Paulo Symphony Orchestra The Amazon Concert: Sights and Sounds of Brazil
At Carnegie Hall

The Amazon rainforest contains species found nowhere else; it’s a home to some of the last uncontacted peoples on Earth; and, as we now know, it can pull climate-changing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It’s also been a reliable inspiration for composers for over a century, mostly Brazilians but not all. There's a piece by Philip Glass, which is part of a series of works named after the different rivers in the Amazon.

Saturday night, Oct. 15, at Carnegie Hall.
Watch "Madeira River" by Philip Glass, played by Third Coast Percussion:
