Flutist · Artist · Educator
It begins with air. One breath, moved through metal, carried from São Paulo to Carnegie Hall — and handed, note by note, to the next generation.

Origin
Brazil, decades before the concert halls. He studied with Spartacco Rossi, João Dias Carrasqueira and Jean Noel Sagaard, and found his footing inside the São Paulo State and Municipal symphonies.

The Crossing
First solo flutist of the Santa Fe Symphony, the Hofer Symphoniker in Germany and the Spoleto Festival Orchestra in Italy.

The Stage
Commissioning, premiering and recording new work from across the Americas — now building seamless concert experiences and free improvisation. Performance made to breathe rather than recite.

The Studio
Professor of Flute at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. North Carolina Board of Governors Excellence in Teaching Award, 2014 — and the UNCSA Excellence in Teaching Awards of 2013 and 2020.
The Records
He has also published the complete works of Pattápio Silva, a collection of daily flute exercises, and his own transcription of Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 — bringing the flute part closer to the original violin score. Available through the shop and Flute World.
