A celebration of five Brazilian musical legends at our special Brazilian night which includes an optional bowl of freshly-made Brazilian stew
Spend Good Friday at our vibrant Brazilian night, complete with Brazilian jazz from renowned saxophonist, Iain Ballamy and friends, and freshly-made Brazilian bowl food.
THE CONCERT
Renowned saxophonist and ECM recording artist Iain Ballamy returns to WMC to share his lifelong fascination with the vibrant music of Brazil. ‘Fascinada’ (or ‘Spellbound’) features magical textural improvisations, each one leading to an original composition created in the spirit of Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, Tom Jobim, Joao Bosco or Hermeto Pascoal. Joining Ballamy on stage are a stellar band featuring extraordinary BBC Young Generation Artist guitarist Rob Luft and a rhythm section including WMC favourite Huw Warren.
THE EVENT
Add more of a Brazilian flavour to your night with some Brazilian bowl food, freshly-cooked and served in a lightweight ceramic dish by Fat Fowl catering. Dining is informal: there will be places to sit or stand where you can enjoy this tasty meal before the show.
Choose from:
- Brazilian spiced chicken with coconut-infused rice with tomato and coriander salsa
- Sweet potato and chickpea Brazilian curry with coconut-infused rice with tomato and coriander salsa
