Recognized as one of the most relevant guitar trios today, the Violões Artes Trio, formed by Pedro Cameron, Welton Nadai, and Priscila Giusti, has been winning over audiences and critics alike with the technical excellence of their performances. Since their debut in 2010, the group has stood out for expanding the traditional guitar trio repertoire, with performances accessible to a wide variety of audiences.
With a repertoire encompassing original compositions, transcriptions, and arrangements of pieces from different periods and musical styles, the trio masterfully navigates between popular and classical music. The group's mission is to make concert music accessible to everyone, including audiences who traditionally do not attend concert halls. Their performances captivate both seasoned audiences and those with little exposure to classical music.
In addition to their performances in theaters and concert halls, the Violões Artes Trio promotes recitals, educational projects in schools and universities, and carries out activities in charitable institutions. The goal is to foster interest in instrumental and classical music in different communities. In 2012, the trio released the album "Violões Artes Trio," a milestone in the group's career, recognized by critics and the public as a work of great sensitivity and virtuosity.
It is also worth highlighting the trajectory of the group's members, who have dedicated themselves to classical music for decades. Like maestro Pedro Cameron, who began his journey with the guitar at age 14. He worked as a professor at the Tatuí Conservatory, where he helped create the first orchestral group in 1975. In 1982, he moved to Rio Claro to found the symphony orchestra, which he conducted for 16 years. In addition to his pedagogical work, Cameron is an award-winning composer, notably for his symphonies and sonatas.
Also part of the group is musician Welton Nadai, who has been interested in the world of classical guitar since adolescence and soon enrolled to study at the Dramatic and Musical Conservatory of Tatuí/SP. He holds a degree in Music Education and a postgraduate degree in Art and Education, and has recorded four albums. Rounding out the trio is Priscila Giusti, a music therapist, coordinator of the Guri Project centers in Campinas and Iracemápolis, and a member of the Rio Claro Guitar Orchestra.
