Porto Pianofest in NY

Written By André Carvalho

I’m thrilled and honoured to play this Thursday at the Porto Pianofest in NY. This is a great classical piano festival organised by Nuno Marques and Mariel Mayz that happens in Porto (Portugal), but in the recent years it has been also happening in NY. This year and for the first time, the festival will be presenting Jazz/improvised music and I’m happy to play in duo with my good friend Richard Sears (piano). We will play several new pieces of mine, as well a famous song by Carlos Paredes. Hope you can make it! For details: here.

André Carvalho

Portuguese jazz bassist and composer André Carvalho is an active NYC freelancer whose works AllAboutJAzz described as “both in bounds and out of this world.” Nate Chinen of The New York Times dubbed Carvalho a bassist “you should get to know.” He’s played with Jazz stars Chris Cheek, Will Vinson, and Tommy Crane. And André’s performance credits range from the Colors Jazz Festival (Paris), the Cairo Jazz Festival, and Jazz Festival Ljubliana, to venues such as Blue Note (New York), Konzerthaus Berlin, and Casa da Música (Porto).
