Almeida Prado

Almeida Prado (1943–2010) was a prominent Brazilian composer, pianist, and music educator, praised by [a=João Carlos Martins] as possibly the most influential contemporary author in Brazil. He was born in Santos, São Paulo and began studying with [a=Osvaldo Lacerda] (harmony) and [a=Mozart Camargo Guarnieri] (composition). In 1969, Prado won the first prize at the I Festival de Música da Guanabara for his [i]Pequenos Funerais Cantantes[/i]. From 1970 to 1973, he had been studying with [a=Olivier Messiaen] and [a=Nadia Boulanger] in Paris. He also took lessons briefly from [a=György Ligeti] and [a=Lukas Foss] in Darmstadt. After returning to Brazil in 1974, Almeida Prado started teaching at the Conservatório Municipal de Cubatão and later at the UNICAMP Institute of the Arts, where he remained until 2000. In January 2007, his [i]Hiléia, Um Mural da Amazônia[/i] cantata, based on the eponymous poem by Ives Gandra Martins, was performed at [l=Carnegie Hall] by the Bachiana Filarmônica Orchestra under the baton of João Carlos Martins. b.: 1943 - Santos, SP
