2017 marks significant anniversaries for some of Brazil’s most eminent composers: Heitor Villa-Lobos (130), Francisco Mignone (120), Camargo Guarnieri (110) and José Maurício Nunes Garcia (250). To celebrate this, we are putting together a week of concert performances, lecture recitals, and film screening in King’s.
This festival is intended to diffuse among King’s students as well as the general public about a repertoire which is not widely known about in the UK.
