The extraordinarily eclectic pianist Ehud Asherie returns to The Shedd's Jaqua Concert Hall February 13 to perform an evening of the refreshing music of Brazilian composer and pianist Ernesto Júlio de Nazareth (1863-1934). Classically trained, Nazareth was noted for creatively combining diverse classical, popular and traditional influences into his music, not only of Brazilian and other Latin American forms (maxixe, choro, tango, samba) but also from the music of Europe (the waltz, polka, quadrilles, Schottisches), Africa (lundu) and the United States (ragtime, the fox trot). Many of his 211 published compositions remain part of the repertory today.
