About the Artist
Spend Valentine's weekend with violinist Nathan Amaral, one of the most exciting young artists on the international stage today. Winner of the 2024 Concert Artists Guild Competition, the Sphinx Competition, and the Young Classical Artists Trust Competition, Amaral has earned acclaim for performances that combine extraordinary technical command with remarkable emotional depth.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Amaral brings a deeply personal connection to this vibrant program celebrating the rich musical traditions of his homeland. From lyrical melodies and passionate song to the rhythmic energy that gave rise to samba, choro, and bossa nova, the music of Brazil reflects a culture filled with color, storytelling, and unmistakable vitality.
Whether you're discovering this repertoire for the first time or reconnecting with familiar sounds, this concert offers an invitation to experience Brazil through the voice of the violin. Warm, expressive, and full of life, it is an evening of music designed to transport, inspire, and leave a lasting impression long after the final note has faded.
