Yesterday I have discovered the youtube chanel of Marcelo Fortuna<\/a>. In this youtube channel you can discover many interesting videos.<\/p>\n

Marcelo Fortuna has studied guitar in Brazil and Portugal. He lives in Portugaql now and teaches guitar. This is the information from his homepage:<\/p>\n

He studied composition at the School of Music of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and orchestration at the Brazilian School of Music under the tutelage of Maestro Nelson de Mac\u00eado. Later, he studied for his bachelor\u2019s degree in guitar with Tur\u00edbio Santos and L\u00e9o Soares, and harmony with Ian Guest.<\/p>\n

He was one of the founder members of the Orchestra of Brazilian Strings, and with them he made three recordings which were adjudged the best instrumental works of 1991 and 1992, and for which he received 3 Sharp awards. In addition to this, he has also collaborated on various recordings as instrumentalist and arranger.<\/p>\n

As a composer, he has been considerably influenced by the Brazilian Nationalist School of Heitor Villa-Lobos, Luciano Gallet, Radam\u00e9s Gnattali, Guerra – Peixe, and Francisco Mignone; also by the Armorial Movement of Ariano Suassuna, and by his long experience as a musician of \u201cchoro\u201d and samba. More recently, his compositions have aroused great interest among well-known concert artists, who, as well as recording some of his works, have also commissioned pieces.<\/p>\n

He completed his bachelor\u2019s degree in guitar at the Escola Superior de M\u00fasica of Lisbon in July 1999, under the direction of professors Pi\u00f1ero Nagy and Antonio Gon\u00e7alves.<\/p>\n

He is currently a Guitar Teacher at various Music Conservatories<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Marcelo Fortuna plays mostly Brazilian music, but also classical music and Klezmer.<\/p>\n

There are many videos of two of his groups, the Lisbon Choro Trio<\/strong> and the Duo CHORUS<\/strong>, I have compiled two playlist witt the videos of those two groups.<\/p>\n

A very special video is the video about the history of the Orquestra de Cordas Brasileiras<\/strong>. It shows pictures and scans of newspaper articles about this ensemble that has recorded three CDs and won several prices. And you can hear a piece played by this ensemble. This plectum ensamble was composed of bandolim, cavaquinho, viola caipira, guitar, 7-string guitar and double bass.<\/p>\n
