Heloísa Fernandes took up piano at the age of four and has been a force ever since. Her original compositions are profoundly influenced by literature, poetry, nature, classical music, jazz and Brazilian music. Strong and original, ancient and modern, her music blossoms with rhythmic vitality and melodic delicacy, a style that has garnered her worldwide attention. Indeed, The Post and Courier describes her unique talent and incredible improvisational skills as “beyond categorization.” One listen and it’s easy to see why.
