THE PATTY McDONALD ARTPLAY PARLOR SERIES

ASC’s ArtPlay presents Choro de Lá pra Cá!

This performance will also feature guest vocalist Camila Masiso. » The trio started when flutist Julie Koidin visited Natal, Brazil in 2014 in order to research contemporary choro. Choro is a popular Brazilian instrumental music genre that originated in 19th century Rio de Janeiro. » The musical chemistry between the musicians was immediate. Their connection shows in their unique music interpretation and the group's own compositions and those of its contemporaries. A little bossa, samba, choro and jazz - all mixed together. » Don’t miss this special and cultural performance at our historic ArtPlay house!
