Life

Braz comes from a simple family with many children. He completed a self-financed training course in Brazil in the evening hours. His first poems date from 1958. He later studied music in Brazil with Dino Pedini. From 1973 to 1976 he studied in Stuttgart at the Musikhochschule near Rosenthal and then at the Zurich Conservatory in the master class of Henri Adelbrecht. From 1979 to 1990 he was a lecturer for the trumpet at the municipal music school in Heidelberg, Germany.

Braz gives concerts with a brook trumpet in halls, churches and in the open air. He tries to draw people's attention to the social problems in his homeland. One project is the construction of a training center in “Mogi das Cruzes Botujuru” São Paulo , where street children and children from poor backgrounds can receive an education.

The Brazilian has released ten records as a soloist in Germany. His literary works include twenty books, most of which are written in his mother tongue. He discovered his love for the German language while researching the literary works of Thomas Mann and Stefan Zweig.
