Monthly Music Clinics: Around the world in 88 Keys with Jovino Santos Neto

Join 3‑time Latin Grammy nominee Jovino Santos Neto for an inspiring piano clinic exploring how rhythm, melody, and harmony come together at the keyboard. Jovino will demonstrate creative approaches to composition, arrangement, and performance in an intimate setting.

A Seattle‑based pianist, composer, and educator, Jovino has performed worldwide—solo, with his acclaimed Quinteto, and alongside countless legendary artists. Participants will have the chance to sit close to the piano, observe his process, and ask questions about their own musical journeys.

About the artist:
Jovino’s personal style is a creative blend of energetic grooves, deep harmonies, telepathic improvisation, lyrical melodies and great ensemble playing, always inspired and informed by the colorful richness of Brazilian music. His compositions include samba, choro, baião, xote, forró, marcha and many more styles, rooted in centuries-old musical tradition while pointing to new and adventurous harmonic languages.

Currently, Jovino leads his Seattle-based Quinteto and Trio. He taught piano and composition at Cornish College of the Arts for 26 years. He can also be heard around the world as a piano soloist, working with symphony orchestras, jazz big bands, chamber music groups, and in collaboration with musicians such as his mentor Hermeto Pascoal, Bill Frisell, Paquito d’Rivera, Airto Moreira, Claudio Roditi, David Sanchez, Joe Locke, Anat Cohen and many more. Jovino is a frequent guest teacher in several music camps and universities around the world.
