Workshop & Concert (this workshop is in the past)
Choro: the Music of Rio
October 23, 2019
Explore the traditional music of Rio de Janeiro from polka to samba and everything in between.
Duo Violão Plus 1, featuring guitarists Rogério Souza and Edinho Gerber, and percussionist Ami Molinelli, will perform an intimate concert you won't want to miss. You'll enjoy the jewelbox acoustics of the Drew School Performing Arts Theater, where you'll have the perfect opportunity to hear these master artists in performance.
As a special "interactive" feature of the concert, those who wish to join in more of an active role in the concert are invited to participate in a pre-concert workshop with the artists. Participants will explore Brazilian Choro style and will learn and rehearse a song for performance as part of the concert.
Open to instrumentalists of all ages and all skill levels. Space is limited!
Duo Violão plus 1 began as an organic extension of Duo Violão, the duo project of Brazilian guitarists Rogério Souza and Edinho Gerber. During their first visit to the Bay Area in 2015, they met percussionist Ami Molinelli and the musical connection was immediate. Over the following years, they travelled up and down the West Coast, performing and developing a unique sound while navigating the rhythms, styles, and sub-genres of Choro music.
WORKSHOP: 6 - 7:00 PM
CONCERT: 7:30 PM
