Composition and arrangement practice developed through orchestral projects, jazz ensembles, chamber groups, recordings, and collaborative musical productions.

 

As a composer and arranger, Rafael Piccolotto de Lima works with a wide range of ensemble formats, including orchestras, jazz orchestras, chamber ensembles, rhythm sections, and interdisciplinary artistic projects. His work integrates elements connected to Brazilian musical traditions, jazz improvisational language, concert music practices, and contemporary ensemble writing.

 

These projects include original compositions, commissioned works, orchestral arrangements, large ensemble writing, chamber music, recording productions, and collaborations with internationally recognized artists, ensembles, and cultural institutions across Brazil, the United States, and Europe.

 

Part of this work also involves orchestration, ensemble texture, improvisation, rhythmic language, rehearsal process, and collaboration between musicians working across orchestral music, jazz, Brazilian music, and contemporary concert productions.
