蜜柚直播

Now it could be months before he can return to 蜜柚直播 after President Trump on Tuesday banned all travel between the United States and Brazil. The ban, which doesn鈥檛 prevent American citizens from returning from Brazil, came the day after Brazil recorded the highest single day coronavirus deaths in the world 鈥� 807 compared to 620 in the U.S.

鈥淲e never got to the top of the peak and we never slowed down either, so we don鈥檛 know where the end is,鈥� Lerner said Tuesday from his home in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte.

Lerner, who holds dual citizenship in Brazil and the United States, could face a delay in returning to 蜜柚直播 because many airlines will not be offering flights. He hopes to be back in 蜜柚直播 when SASO opens its 2020-21 season in September. But for now, he plans to remain in Brazil, where his parents live.

Lerner splits his time between Brazil, where he conducts the Symphony Orchestra of Rio Grande do Norte, and 蜜柚直播, where he has lived since enrolling in the doctorate program at the University of 蜜柚直播 nearly 20 years ago. Lerner owns homes in Brazil and 蜜柚直播, where he became a U.S. citizen in 2010.

Lerner left 蜜柚直播 on March 16, the day after SASO performed what became its season finale; the volunteer orchestra鈥檚 board of directors canceled the season finale days after the coronavirus health crisis was labeled a pandemic on March 11.

He returned to Rio Grande do Norte days before his Brazilian orchestra was to start its season. But soon after he arrived, performing arts were put on hold as the country assessed the pandemic鈥檚 impact.

Lerner said Brazil鈥檚 response to the virus has been chaotic. While most governors throughout the country ordered businesses closed and advised residents to stay home to prevent the virus鈥檚 spread, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, according to media reports, dismissed the virus as 鈥渁 little flu.鈥� Bolsonaro is solely focused on reopening Brazil鈥檚 economy despite warnings from his country鈥檚 health officials, Lerner said.

鈥淭here are places that were totally locked down and that鈥檚 why they are so successful with less cases than the rest of Brazil,鈥� he said, noting that people are required to wear masks in public and in some places can face fines if they don鈥檛.

鈥淢ost people do respect that because they are scared of dying,鈥� he said.

Lerner, who lives nine blocks from the nearest beach and can see the ocean in the distance from his high-rise condominium, said he and the orchestra recently transitioned to some online programming, including a series of interviews he has done with Brazilian musical figures; one featured the famous Brazilian composer and arranger Duda Neves.

On Tuesday, teen musicians from his state were expected to compete virtually in a young artist competition that will go nationwide in Brazil in June.

Lerner and his 蜜柚直播 orchestra will release a video greeting later this week.
