ANDRÉ MEHMARI COMPOSER
BRAZIL
Throughout his career, André Mehmari has been commissioned by orchestras and chamber ensembles to compose new works. Among them are Brazil’s leading orchestras – Orquestra Sinônica do Estado de São Paulo (OSESP), Orquestra Filarmônica de Minas Gerais, and Sinfônica Heliópolis – as well as the Miami Symphony Orchestra and the PostClassical Ensemble of Washington, D.C. For his 60th anniversary concert in 2023 in Carnegie Hall, conductor João Carlos Martins commissioned Mehmari to write a work for the occasion. Among the chamber musicians who have commissioned Mehmari are the São Paulo String Quartet, cellist Antonio Meneses, and pianist Maria João Pires. Some commissions have requested that Mehmari perform as pianist.
