(Tickets on sale for Ritmo & Romance closing concerts in Davie and Gainesville, Florida)
The University of Florida School of Music
in collaboration with Broward College will present the 2015 Brazilian Music
Institute (BMI) from Monday, May 11 through Friday, May 15. BMI brings together
outstanding artists for a weeklong event designed to extend the experience and
expand the possibilities of learning and performing Brazilian music. The
institute will present two Ritmo & Romance closing concerts on Friday, May
15 at 8 p.m. at Broward College’s Bailey Hall, 3501 S.W. Davie Road, Davie, and
on Sunday, May 17, 2015 at 4 p.m. in the Santa Fe College Fine Arts Hall in
Gainesville, Florida. Founded and organized by Welson Tremura in 2001, BMI is a
training ground for Brazilian music. Previously held in Gainesville, Florida, this
year’s event will be the first one to take place at Broward College as a result
of a threeyear award from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to bring
BMI to Broward County.

Broward College and others enrolled in this year’s event will work with special
artist Antonio Adolfo (piano), Hermógenes Araújo (percussion), Alexander Crook
(drum set/percussion), Larry Crook (percussion), Beatriz Malnic (voice), Ulisses
Rocha (guitar), James Sain (electric bass) and Welson Tremura (voice/guitar). The
Ritmo & Romance closing concerts will celebrate the diversity of Brazilian
culture with sensual rhythms and romantic lyrics and will feature all of this
year’s guest artists plus selected BMI participants.
