Music director dies in Portugal, at 46
mainThe Brazilian conductor Antonio Seixas suffered a fatal heart attack in Portugal, where he was engaged in post-doctoral studies.
Principal trombone of the Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira since 1997, he was music director of the Banda Filarmônica do Rio de Janeiro.
A fine musician, I had the opportunity to have a couple of trombone masterclasses with him a decade ago. Very sad news indeed. RIP
