Brief history

Music is essential to integral education and, at Solar, it is always attuned to all forms of art, especially dance and theater. It was present from the first moments, when we welcome children victims of 12/28/1983 tragedy, cheering them with singing, dances, paintings, storytelling, drama, percussion little bands with handmade instruments – which has developed and diversified in these 32 years.

Music was also present in the first shelter construction. Place of activities to assistance families, the 4 floors building was founded in 1987 in Pavãozinho Avenue 51, when part of financial resources were money of many classical music concerts organized by OSB great pianist, Ilse Trinity, with orchestra musicians groups, held in the old auditorium of Cultura Inglesa course, Eva Klabin Foundation and Rio Design Center Shopping.

Outbreaks musical progress have occurred in parallel with the development of all arts at Solar Meninos de Luz.

We can mention  Maria José Chevitarese magnificent work from 2001 to early 2008, with Children and Youth Coral with 120 voices, Flutes Orchestra, Percussion Workshop; Keyboard Workshop; Music Theory Workshop. From 2007 to 2009, with Bernardo Bessler and Luiz Benedini, exceptional violins and cellos classes, preparatory for String Orchestra. From 2009 to 2015 with some stops, the joy of forming Monoblock percussionists. From 2011 to 2014, the exciting Music Portable School – EPM in chorinho classes, with guitars, ukuleles, tambourines, flutes transverse, making fans who play until today.

In recent years, hired teacher Angela Brito, was with a promising coral that ended when she changed of state; other corals beginners with great conductors Jonas Hamar and Victor Damiani, volunteers who started but could not finish; and in 2016, Mayra Couto, voluntary, governs a small Coral of 25 students of Childhood Education and Elementary I.

Very important presentations were made inside and outside Solar and there were great musical success moments.

Intermittence was due to sponsorship termination, musicians route changes, inability to continue voluntarily and Solar lack of financial resources.

Gratitude

Unforgettable Zeze, world of music is enriched by your work and your life.

But modest Solar Meninos de Luz wanted to show his gratitude for your work that lasted 7 years only, but stayed in our history and hearts.

With its methodology based on Jofre Dumazedier (Lyom, France) and Paulo Freire, you taught music through discussions and reflections with students and, at the same time, built knowledge, affectivity, self-esteem, brotherhood and citizenship – all that Solar strives to improve.

The repertoire of Brazilian popular music, local and foreign folk music, works for choirs in several languages, was beautiful and you used the letters to students self-awareness and enjoyment. The chance to perform in the big musical rooms added them rich opportunity to be recognized by audiences that received effusively: palms were so many that have promoted their welfare and social inclusion for the pleasure of singing and receive approval. The same happened with flutes and percussion orchestra.

We, from SML, feel honored to have your name on our Music Center, as we promised you.

Homesick, we are eternally grateful!
