Brazilian Music

About

Rochester Chamber Music Society is please to present Brazilian Music on Saturday, April 26, 7:30 pm at Christ United Methodist Church in Rochester.

Choro Borealis brings together some of the Twin Cities’ finest musicians who share a deeply rooted passion for Brazilian music: Pat O’Keefe on clarinet, Tim O’Keefe on percussion and mandolin, Robert Everest on 7-string guitar and vocals, John Croarkin on flute, and David Burk on cavaquinho. These talented musicians have been performing and studying Brazilian music across the globe for over 30 years. Choro is a lively instrumental music genre native to Rio de Janeiro with strong European and African roots, and which developed at the same time as Ragtime and Dixieland Jazz in the United States. Performing both choro standards and original compositions, the magic of Choro Borealis is the playful interplay among the musicians, and the many varieties of instruments they employ in bringing choro music to life for their audiences
