Coral Paulistano revives lost Guarnieri work in world premiere at Paulistano 90 Years: Memories concert on February 12.
90 Years of Modernist Legacy
Founded in 1936 by Mário de Andrade, Coral Paulistano marks 90 years as a pillar of Brazilian music at São Paulo’s Theatro Municipal. It aimed to bring modernism to the city’s elite.
Icons like Camargo Guarnieri, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and others shaped its path. Under Maíra Ferreira today, it champions diverse Brazilian repertoire.
Talking about Coral Paulistano’s 90 years highlights its defining qualities: deeply diverse in repertoire, styles, and formats.
The conductor honors Andrade’s vision, blending heritage with bold innovation.
Rescued World Premiere
The February 12 concert at 8pm in Sala do Conservatório revisits the 1936 inaugural program. Star is Auto de todo mundo e ninguém by Guarnieri, with Carlos Drummond de Andrade‘s text from Gil Vicente.
This 1981 piece features narrator, tenor, choir, trumpet, and Brazilian percussion. It bridges Portuguese autos with modern Brazil.
This reunion of past and present links memory to debuting Guarnieri’s unknown work, by the group’s first conductor.
