Brincadeira a cinco

Quinteto Brasilia released in 2009 its first CD, titled “Brincadeira a Cinco”, with repertoire of original Brazilian works and arrangements for this instrumental formation. The CD was released by the label Ethos Brasil, and is still available for purchase!

The Quinteto Brasília is a reference chamber group in Brazil formed by professionals of the highest artistic level, acting since 2000, with a proposal to present audacious and engaging repertoire to the public, including new works and composers.

At the time of this recording, the quintet counted on the mastery of Felix Alonso in the clarinet and Stanislav Schulz in the French horn. These two excellent musicians do not live in Brazil anymore. Currently the group is formed by Sérgio Barrenechea, flute, José Medeiros, oboe, Marcos Cohen, clarinet, Gustavo Koberstein, bassoon, Daniel W. Araújo, French horn. The quintet also had the participation of bassoonists Heleno Feitosa and Flávio Lopes de Figueiredo Junior, and clarinetist Johnson Machado.
