Artist Info: Alexandre Silverio

Born in 1975 in Osasco (São Paulo - Brazil), Alexandre Silvério is one of the few bassoonists in the world who plays both Classical and Jazz. He is the principal bassoonist of the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (called in Brazil as OSESP), but also a very committed jazz bassoonist.

Influenced by his father, Alexandre started to learn music by taking piano lessons at the age of 6. At the age of 15, after listening to a Michala Petri's long-play, the bassoon became Alexandre's favorite instrument. [read more...]
