The Life & Music of Villa-Lobos

We often associate great classical music with names of European composers like Bach, Beethoven and Mozart.

In this episode, we’re going to learn about an incredible composer from South America — one who combines the indigenous music of his home country with classical influences. We’re learning about a legendary conductor, guitarist, cellist and composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos.
