Biography
Son of Sebastian Viana (assistant of Mr. Villa-Lobos in Rio), he has played
flute, viola and piano and keyboard. His professors were:
Ennio Morricone, Luca Salvadori, Arthur Bosmans, Max Rostal, Paulo Bosísio,
Oiliam Lanna, among others.
In 1998, he had a tragic car accident that affected seriously his right hand.

environment. The audio CD Symphony 2 was produced only with the left hand, and
its composition was started four days after the accident.
