Cláudio Santoro

about

Cláudio Franco de Sá Santoro (Manaus, November 23, 1919 - Brasília, March 27, 1989) was an internationally renowned Brazilian composer and violinist. A native of Manaus, the capital of Amazonas, Claudio Santoro started to study violin and piano as a child. His efforts made the Government of Amazonas send him to study in Rio de Janeiro, at the Musical Conservatory of Rio de Janeiro. At the age of 18, he was already a teacher of the violin course at the conservatory. He was a pupil of Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, composer that influenced Santoro. He also studied in Paris with Nadia Boulanger. He co-founded and played in the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra. His prolific output was mostly instrumental and includes fourteen symphonies, three piano concertos and seven string quartets. Claudio Santoro died in Brasília in March 1989 while conducting the rehearsal of a concert scheduled to commemorate the 14 July bicentennial of the French Revolution. His 70th birthday would have been in November. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
