A S M D O B R A S I LFounded 22 years ago, Ação Social pela Música do Brasil (Social

Action through Music of Brazil) is a non-profit, non-governmental

organization, whose mission is to promote cultural education and

social inclusion through the teaching of classical music and the practice

of musical instruments. It is dedicated exclusively to children and

teenagers living in low-income communities under conditions of

extreme social vulnerability. Throughout its existence, over 10,000

students have attended the Núcleos de Música – Music Learning

Centers – with positive results, drawing them away from drug trafficking

and domestic violence. Currently, the organization serves 2,730

students in twelve centers, five of which are located in the city of Rio de

Janeiro (such as the communities of Chapéu Mangueira, Dona Marta,

Complexo do Alemão, Vila Isabel and Rio das Pedras), making up a

complex of over 20 communities. Other centers throughout Brazil

include two in the city of Petrópolis, four in João Pessoa, in the state of

Paraiba and one in Ji-Paraná, in the state of Rondônia.

As a spin-off of the work in the Núcleos de Música, ASM do Brasil

created, in 2014, the Youth Symphony of Rio de Janeiro – OSJRJ

and several chamber music ensembles such as the Camerata Jovem do

Rio de Janeiro (Youth Camerata of Rio de Janeiro) and the Conjunto

de Violoncellos (Cello Ensemble). These ensembles showcase the

result achieved through the work of many years, as they single out and

nurture new talents among the young musicians and pave the way for

professional careers.

It is composed of 14 musicians ages 14 to 20, residents of low-income

communities in Rio de Janeiro known as favelas: Complexo do Alemão,

Morro dos Macacos, Pavão-Pavãozinho and Morro da Babilônia. All

of these young musicians were exposed to music for the first time 5

years ago at most, at the Center of Music of ASM of Brazil. In this

incredibly short period of time, they have come a long way and achieved

astounding proficiency on their instruments. They have performed on

renowned stages in Rio de Janeiro, such as the Cidade das Artes, Teatro

Municipal and Sala Cecília Meireles, to name the most important. In

some of these presentations, they played alongside acclaimed musicians,

notably Brazilian composer and guitarist Yamandu Costa and the

distinguished pianist Lang Lang. In recent years, they have participated

with great success in the Londrina International Music Festival in the

State of Paraná and the João Pessoa International Music Festival in the

State of Paraíba.

In 2017, the Camerata went on its first international tour which

took it to Germany and Holland. The young musicians took classes

with members of the Munich Symphony Orchestra for a week and

performed on stages such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and

the Wallraf Richartz Museum in Cologne. This experience was crucial

to their progress and demonstrated that young people who live under

especially vulnerable social conditions are capable of making quality

classical music when exposed to serious and objective musical education.

FIORELLA SOLARESA native of Guatemala, musician and cultural producer Fiorella Solares came to Brazil at a very young age, acquired Brazilian citizenship and undertook a noteworthy career as a cellist in the Symphony Orchestra of the Theatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro. Here she met and married renowned Brazilian conductor David Machado. Together, they founded the “Ação Social pela Música do Brasil”. After maestro David Machado’s untimely death in 1995, Fiorella gathered her strength and, with great determination, carried on the work initiated with her late husband. Today, she runs the organization with enormous dedication, thus transforming lives and helping to spread the knowledge of classical music to all audiences, including to those who would not otherwise have had access to it.
