The ANAMA Ensemble is a professional vocal ensemble under the artistic direction of conductor Cleiton Xavier. Dedicated to vocal music from different periods and traditions, the ensemble pursues interpretive excellence, combining technical rigor, sonic refinement, and expressive depth.
Its artistic practice is grounded in the understanding that interpreting a musical work goes beyond reproducing the written score. Each performance emerges from a process of listening, exploration, and collective creation, in which the relationship between voices, words, and sound forms the foundation of musical expression.
Ancestral heritage and Latin American thought are important references in shaping ANAMA's artistic identity. Questions of memory, the body, territory, and human experience inform its aesthetic vision, opening possibilities for dialogue with literature, philosophy, cinema, dance, and the visual arts.
Without limiting its repertoire to any particular period or musical language, the ensemble seeks to develop interpretations with a distinctive artistic identity and explore different ways of presenting vocal music. Its work encompasses both the concert experience and the creation of artistic projects in which music engages with other disciplines and forms of expression.
