Marés - Journeys into Brazilian Music
Marés is a series of video episodes produced by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of Brazil in London, exploring classical and popular music from Brazil in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Marés is directed and presented by Fabrício Mattos and performed by students from the Royal Academy of Music and special guests, counting with Bernardo Simões as film director. Each of the three episodes is filled with aesthetic experimentation drawing on the visual possibilities of music performance, in a way that is integrated into the setting of the recordings: the Embassy’s stunning Sala Brasil.
