Mauro Senise and Adriano Souza play classics by Gilberto Gil and Johnny Alf on Domingo no Jardim

Saxophonist and flutist Mauro Senise and pianist, composer, and arranger Adriano Souza are the stars of Domingo no Jardim on December 7. Their repertoire includes classics by Gilberto Gil and Johnny Alf, in an instrumental reinterpretation of the two great Brazilian composers.

Mauro Senise, who is celebrating 50 years in his career, has more than 30 solo CDs and four Latin Grammy nominations under his belt, winning the award in 2017. A student of saxophone with Paulo Moura and flute with Odette Ernest Dias, Mauro has played with big names in Brazilian music, such as Egberto Gismonti, Hermeto Pascoal, Luiz Eça, and Edu Lobo, among others.

A highly talented pianist, Adriano Souza is one of the best arrangers of the new generation. He has an important solo career, notably his acclaimed instrumental reinterpretation of works by Tom Jobim, in addition to several albums recorded with Senise. He plays with Paulinho da Viola, among other important names in Brazilian popular music.

The show takes place in front of the bust of Dom João, and admission is free. Visitors only pay the entrance fee to the arboretum. In case of rain, it will be moved to the Galpão das Artes.
