Ricardo Silva

Brazilian music for symphonic band

Ricardo Silva’s work brings together symphonic writing, formal clarity and strong rhythmic energy. His catalogue values Brazilian gestures, colors and rhythms within the symphonic band tradition.

Baião, maracatu, samba, frevo, ponteio and choro appear as expressive references, not as ornament. The goal is to create communicative, solid and useful music for conductors, students, bands and institutions.

His compositions have been associated with symphonic bands, military bands, educational institutions, festivals, wind orchestras and international ensembles.
