Congratulations Matheus!

“The Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony and Music Director Andrei Feher have appointed Matheus Moraes as Principal Trumpet effective September 2023. Originally from Brazil, Matheus Moraes has had a long career as a freelance musician, performing with orchestras such as the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra and Rio de Janeiro City Theater Opera Orchestra, as well as musical theater groups and popular music ensembles.
