About The Performance
Brazilian-born Luciana Souza is one of the most important singers of her generation, and “her voice traces a landscape of emotion that knows no boundaries” (Entertainment Weekly). She joins forces with Vince Mendoza—one of the most versatile composer/arranger/conductors of the last two decades—for Storytellers, a special collaboration featuring beloved songs by Brazilian composers such as Antônio Carlos Jobim, Chico Pinheiro, Guinga, and Gilberto Gil, performed with a big band of extraordinary musicians.
