Brazilian Music Night

Join us for a night of Brazilian music arranged for guitar and vibraphone, exploring genres such as samba, classical, bossa nova, and pagode. Experience the rich and diverse sounds of Brazil in an intimate setting, featuring works by composers like Tom Jobim, Villa-Lobos, and Yamandu Costa.
Eduardo Gutterres (guitar) from Brazil and Pedro Sequeira (vibraphone) from Portugal met in New York City, where they study at the Manhattan School of Music (Edu) and Juilliard School (Pedro).
