ABOUT THE SHOW
Saxophonist, composer, and band leader Gaia Wilmer has been carving a niche for herself on both New York and Boston scenes, as well as in her native Brazil. Her large ensemble release Folia celebrates the life and work of major influence Egberto Gismonti, while paying homage to the range of Brazilian music and culture pervading Gismonti’s work.
