Gabriel Schwartz presents his Solo Concert as a multi-instrumentalist, performing various wind instruments, strings and percussion. The repertoire is based on Brazilian music influenced by Jazz and World music, with Brazilian standards and original compositions. The concept of a multi-instrumentalist appearing solo on the stage allows for a very particular musical language to emerge the freedom in the composition and interpretation. The aesthetic proposed for the concert is a mix of chamber music arrangements, rich in melodic counterpoints and improvisation. On the other hand, the rhythmic accompaniment, highlights the simplicity of the folk guitar and the Brazilian percussion, two different languages that are very well mixed in the songs. Gabriel conducts his performance sometimes constructing arrangements in real time with the aid of his loop station or also making solos of flute, saxophone, voice, and 8-string guitar.
