THE GUITAR: with classical guitarist Álvaro Henrique
Memorable Mondays with live music, conversation, and culture. Presented by Berimbau 2nd Floor and the International Brazilian Opera Company (IBOC), Culture at Berimbau is a three-part salon series exploring the piano, the voice, and the classical guitar. Each evening brings audiences close to the artists through an engaging combination of performance, storytelling and conversation in Berimbau’s intimate cultural space.
The guitar has a significant impact on contemporary Brazilian composers. Brazilian classical guitarist Álvaro Henrique presents an evening of compositions highlighting composers from the Brasília and Goiás region of Brazil.
About Álvaro Henrique
Alvaro Henrique challenges the boundaries of what it means to be classical, musician, guitarist, and Brazilian. Alvaro has been awarded in competitions in Brazil, Canada and the USA, and has performed in over 20 countries. He also embraces his neurodivergence and is an advocate for defying harmful stereotypes.
His recent albums are Guerra-Peixe’s complete solo guitar works, Alvaro Henrique plays Dilermando Reis, and ongoing projects are a 3 CD of Heitor Villa-Lobos’ music with the Orquestra Sinfônica do Teatro Nacional Cláudio Santoro, and music from composers born in Brasília.
Moderated by IBOC board president Christina Morgan and IBOC artistic director João MacDowell.
The three Berimbau evenings are part of the second edition of IBOC’s Opera Nova NYC biennial concert series. The series is supported in part by the Opera America/Howard Gilman Grant for Small NYC Opera Orgs, New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), and Berimbau Restaurant.
