In addition to our member performances, our June 26 meeting featured a presentation by Alvaro Henrique, “Interactive Performance – Melody.”

Guitarist Alvaro Henrique engages audiences with a world of emotions and story-telling through music. Henrique’s programs include a host of plucked instruments covering a fascinating range of history and cultures, from Villa-Lobos, Scarlatti, Giuliani to transcriptions of Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky and new works. 

As a soloist, Henrique has performed with Brazilian and Finnish orchestras. Among the conductors he’s worked with are Julio Medaglia, Ville Mankkinen, and Angelo Cavallaro.  

With an interest in social activism, Alvaro’s projects have included commissioning works centered on social issues, like Jorge Antunes’ Brasilia 50.
