In June 2016, the first edition of Brasil Sinfônico was held at the Doelen in Rotterdam. This project contains a symphonic discovery through brazilian music, ranging from Heitor Villa-Lobos to Antônio Carlos Jobim - known for his bossa nova compositions as 'The Girl from Ipanema'. On behalf of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Redondo has co-produced the program featuring two Brazilian icons at a special 2-day project in The Netherlands.
Yamandu Costa

Like a real gaúcho, the musical styles of southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, permeate his work. Yamandu gained international recognition following his role in the documentary Brasileirinho (2005) on the history of choro music in Rio de Janeiro.
