Abstract

This concluding work discusses the trajectory of the Amazonian Claudio Santoro, a conductor, composer, conductor, violinist and professor of music influential in the artistic field, as well as his biographies and his biographers. We seek to present, briefly, different points of view that focus on different aspects of the performance of this character, ranging from his private life to his political militancy in the Brazilian Communist Party. A life punctuated by difficulties and professional recognition relatively late, nationally and internationally, and which earned him the honor of having his name in the Lyceum of Arts and Crafts of the State of Amazonas.
