Praised for having such a powerful and yet so welcoming warm sound,
Brazilian violist Amaro Dubois has approached his unique playing in
many aspects of the classical music industry by placing an emphasis
on expanding the repertoire for the viola through collaborative
projects in Brazil and North America. Amaro earned his Bachelor’s
Degree in Viola Performance with a specialty in chamber music from
the Brazilian Conservatory of Music in Rio de Janeiro, and a Master’s
Degree in Viola Performance, where he was granted an assistantship.
More recently, Amaro Dubois was awarded the Iris Orchestra
Fellowship under the guidance and mentorship of music director and
conductor Michael Stern from 2019-2021 and will begin his DMA at the
University of Nevada in Fall 2021 as a teaching assistant. Additionally,
Amaro recently started a Duo with the marvelous collaborative pianist
Tingting Yao. The Yao-Dubois Duo’s mission is to share compositions
by underrepresented composers, including African American, Latin
American, and women composers.
