Engelke and the Wind Orchestra Eintracht

On July 14th and 16th, the Wind Orchestra Eintracht presented concerts in the cities of Estrela and Sapiranga in Southern Brazil. Luis Engelke was the soloist and guest conductor performing five works for solo trumpet including Arban’s The Carnival of Venice, Monterde’s La Virgen de la Macarena, Gilberto Gagliardi’s Trompete de Espanha, and José Ursicino da Silva’s Fantasia Carnavalesca (with guest trumpeters Tiago Linck and Jezer da Silva). The performances were sponsored by numerous corporate donations under Brazil’s culture incentive laws. Founded and directed by José Lenhard and conducted by Lincoln da Gama Lobo, the ensemble was created in 1993 to assist students and young professionals, bring music of various styles to the general public, and support social causes through food donations rather than ticket sales. These highly successful concerts raised more than 2,500 pounds of rations donated to the region’s underprivileged population.
