Performance NotesImmediately following the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra’s evening Prom, its string players and Principal Conductor Marin Alsop are joined by members of the São Paulo Jazz Symphony Orchestra for a landmark celebration of Brazilian popular-music from the past 100 years. Few countries can boast such an ingrained and individual popular music tradition as Brazil, and this feel-good Late Night Prom will take you from the African-influenced rhythms and Chopinesque chromaticism of Brazilian street music to the outlandish constructions of the so-called São Paulo avant-garde – all from the best Brazilian players in the business.

Broadcast on BBC iPlayer from 25 August 2016.

"A hundred years of Brazilian popular music in 75 minutes? Quite a task, but one that Marin Alsop and her musicians accomplished in some style, reminding us that barriers separating "serious" music and the rest are not as rigidly observed over there. Listen to Tim Jobim's compositions and you sense that you are in the company of an artist at ease in both worlds."
