Brazilian ensemble workshops with Marcinho Pereira, Sam Watts, Luca Boscagin & Matheus Nova; vocals with Carolina Lelis.Em Sintonia is a day-long celebration of Brazilian music, bringing together movement, rhythm, language, ensemble playing and live performance in an immersive experience that invites audiences to discover one of the world's richest musical traditions. Taking place at ICMP London, the event is designed to connect people through participation, celebrating Brazilian music not simply as a repertoire to learn, but as a living culture where rhythm, storytelling, dance and community are inseparable.
In the afternoon, the focus shifts towards musicians wishing to deepen their understanding of Brazilian music in a practical ensemble setting. Instrumentalists will work in small groups led by acclaimed Brazilian musicians Marcinho Pereira and Matheus Nova and the rest of their team, exploring groove, rhythmic language, accompaniment, phrasing, improvisation and ensemble interaction across a range of Brazilian styles.
Vocalists will join celebrated Brazilian singer Carolina Lelis (Da Lata) in a dedicated workshop exploring Portuguese pronunciation, stylistic interpretation, phrasing, expression and the unique feel and storytelling of Brazilian repertoire.

Em Sintonia is led by vocalist, educator and ICMP Vocal Leader Francesca Confortini, whose work bridges professional performance and higher music education, alongside renowned composer, arranger and pianist Ryan Mackenzie, whose passion for Brazilian music and orchestral writing lies at the heart of the Mosaico project. Together, they have created a programme that aims to broaden access to Brazilian music within UK music education while celebrating its cultural depth and authenticity. The project is coordinated by Hannah Hutton, Jazz Programme Manager at Kings Place, whose extensive experience in producing large-scale artistic and educational programmes has helped shape the event into a day of learning, collaboration and cultural exchange.
Throughout the day, participants are encouraged to meet, collaborate and make music together. Whether you're attending alone or with friends, Em Sintonia is designed to create new musical connections across communities and disciplines.
Em Sintonia is proudly supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
