Eurico Ferreira Mathias

Eurico Ferreira Mathias is a brazilian cellist and improviser musician who develops a personal vocabulary on his instrument. Eurico is an all-genre lover: His improvisations and collaborations transcend musical styles and art forms. He is a creative partner of film and theater makers, actors, storytellers, poets, dancers, painters, sculptors, and photographers. Eurico plays and collaborates with different musicians and bands around Europe and Brazil at the moment, in different genres and styles, having the goal to explore new sounds, techniques, and ways to play his cello in a non-classic-conventional form, on recordings and at live concerts with important ensembles such as The String Archestra and his String Trio. At Ballhaus Naunynstraße Eurico has performed in numerous performances, including Auf meinen Schultern by Raphael Moussa Hillebrand (2019), Complex of Tensions by Jasco Viefhues (2020), Eigenschwingungen – Forces of Overtones, by and with meLê yamomo (2021). He was also part of the concert ZWA with Nacho Buk (2022), of Jean-Paul Bourelly’s transdisciplinary music jam Polyphonic. Inside the Color of Soul (2022, as part of the festival Black Berlin Black – Widerstand) and the Muacy Trio with Kaio Moraes and Trigo Santana. At the Black Berlin Black – Festivity festival (2025/26), he performed with Gonza & Bona Ngoumou and The String Archestra, as well as with Harald Kisiedu in Afrodiasporische Neue Musik: Enriching the cultural life of the community at large.
