Joined by her outstanding jazz quintet, she brings to life the timeless spirit of Mendes’ music on Saturday, May 17 at 22:30.
Recently departed, Sérgio Mendes was a visionary pianist, composer, and producer whose six-decade career left an indelible mark on global music. From the iconic Brasil ’66 sound to Grammy wins and Oscar nods, his work bridged continents and generations.
The Miranda Verouli Quintet will perform a handpicked selection of Mendes’ most beloved songs, honoring his signature style while weaving in fresh energy and storytelling. Between songs, Miranda translates lyrics and shares the stories behind the music, painting a vivid picture of the cultural landscape that shaped his artistry.
Mendes born in Rio de Janeiro and classically trained, made his mark in the U.S. in the 1960s, collaborating with legends such as Cannonball Adderley, Herbie Mann, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Quincy Jones. He also played a crucial role in introducing Brazilian greats like Antônio Carlos Jobim, Milton Nascimento, and Jorge Ben Jor to international audiences.
Miranda Verouli’s deep connection with Brazilian music has been recognized at the highest level in 2018, she was awarded the Order of Rio Branco by Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs for her role in promoting Brazilian culture in Greece.
