The Chester Performing Arts Project @ Andre’ Café’ Acoustique proudly presents Grammy Nominated “MINAS”  TRIO with their pulsating “Music of Brazil”. The "MINAS" performance will feature core-members Orlando Haddad and Patricia King, with Mike Cemprola (Flute & Saxophone). Minas is one of the most established Brazilian music groups in the US today. MINAS web site: www.minasmusic.com .  Orlando Haddad and Patricia King formed Minas in 1978 at North Carolina School of the Arts to bring Brazilian music to stateside audiences. They proceeded to play all over the Eastern US before going back to their musical roots in Brazil, where they entertained, traveled extensively and recorded their first album, Num Dia Azul.  Taking Brazilian music into different compositional realms, Minas creates a sound that is imaginative, evocative and intimate. Between the vocals of Orlando and Patricia, founded on piano and acoustic guitar, augmented by expert ensemble players, one experiences a musical landscape of subtle and complex beauty.  Philadelphia-based since 1984, Minas has performed at all major area venues (Academy of Music, Kimmel Center, etc) in concerts, festivals, Carnival balls and workshops that focus on Brazilian music and instrumentation. Their ongoing school programs have been presented to over 200,000 area school students, and their clinics and percussion ensemble work has spawned a generation of Brazilian musicians and aficionados in the area. In between they have kept in touch with Brazil, going back to perform and record, to inspire and be inspired.
