Fifteen musicians plus Itiberê comprise this orchestra.
In the year of 1999, young musicians came to Seminários de Música Pro-Arte to participate in a musical practice meeting carried out by Itiberê and scheduled as a weekly workshop. Since then, these meetings never stopped.
As the musicians progressed, Orquestra FamÃlia built up it’s name and their vast repertoire led the group to many formal concerts in diverse locations, among them: Sesc Vila Mariana/SP; Sala Funarte Sidney Miller /RJ; Museu da República /RJ ;Tom Brasil/SP; Festival de TatuÃ/SP; Teatro Carlos Gomes/RJ; Planetário da Gávea/RJ; UNIRIO/RJ ;Teatro BNDS/RJ; Museu da Pompulha/BH,Centro Cultural da Justiça/RJ;Sesc Instrumental/SP;Unicamp/SP,Sala São Paulo/Sp;Teatro da Puc, Curitiba; Teatro Alvares Carvalho/Florianópolis;Teatro Francisco Nunes/BH; Teatro Castro Alves, Salvador. La Trastienda / Buenos Aires
By the end of 2001, Orquestra FamÃlia released it’s first double CD “Pedra do Espia†(Jam Music Label), which got excellent media and public feedback, considered by “O Globo†reviewers one of the year’s ten best musical releases. In 2005 the group released the second double CD “Calendário do Som†featuring 27 compositions from Hermeto Pascoal’s book, and in 2006 went on a release tour with a series of concerts throughout Brazil, Montevideo (Uruguay) and Buenos Aires (Argentina), sponsored by Natura Musical.
During their four weekly rehearsals, Itiberê makes use of the method "Corpo Presente" (real time creation) to compose and arrange. Multiple are the styles and with no preconceptions he ends up including all musical tendencies, creating a beautiful and coherent whole. Breaking through the boundaries that separate popular and concert music, it features universality, the greatest asset of "Escola Jabour", by Hermeto Pascoal.
