Formed by Aleska Chediak on cello, Renan Francioni on piano and Zé Luiz Maia on acoustic bass, the Songbook Cello Trio will be performing a repertoire of bossa nova classics and MPB reinterpretations on Sunday in the Garden. The repertoire includes compositions by Tom Jobim, Carlos Lyra, Edu Lobo, Jacob do Bandolim and Hermeto Pascoal, among others.
The Songbook Cello Trio is part of a project by Aleska Chediak that refers to the acclaimed Songbook series, conceived and produced by her father, music producer Almir Chediak. The performance takes place on June 9 at 11 a.m., next to the bust of Dom João, and is free of charge (visitors only pay for the ticket to the arboretum). In the event of rain, the performance will be moved to the Galpão das Artes.

He has already shared the stage with instrumentalists such as Maurício Einhorn and Renato Massa Calmon. He took part in the album “Quartets - A tribute to the music of Corea”, released in 2021.
