Andre Mehmari is one of Brazil's most talented musicians. His activities as pianist, composer, and arranger are highly regarded in both popular and classical music. As one of the most sought after composers in Brazil, his compositions have been performed by leading orchestras such as Orquestra Sinfonica do Estado de Sao Paulo and chamber ensembles such as the Sao Paulo String Quartet. His career in jazz and Brazilian popular music has attained wide attention with performances in all of Brazil's major jazz festivals, at the Umbria Jazz in Italy, and at the Juan Les-Pins festival in France.

Mehmari has released more than forty albums and has earned numerous awards and commissions for his work. His active performing calendar includes solo piano concerts, his trio, and duos with Monica Salmaso, clarinetist Gabriele Mirabassi, and cellist Rafael Cesario, each blending streams of music in a unique and creative way.
