Known widely as Duo Violão Brasil, guitarists Rogério Souza and Edinho Gerber explore and expand on the musical possibilities of playing two guitars (violões) together. With repertoire from composers like Pixinguinha, Baden Powell, and Tom Jobim, they effortlessly navigate through many styles of 20th century Brazilian popular music while showcasing original works and inventive arrangements. The program includes unique interpretations of well-known jazz and Brazilian compositions in a variety of styles such as Bossa Nova, Samba, Choro, and Baiao as well as original compositions.

On this fall tour they renew a collaboration with their compatriot Leonard Lucini, virtuoso bassist and music educator who has settled in the Washington, D.C. area, and with clarinetist, saxophonist, and American ethnomusicologist Andrew Connell, PhD who teaches and performs from his base at James Madison University in Virginia.

Two shows, 8 pm and 9:30 pm. Tickets are $17 in advance, $20 at the door for adults and $10 for college students with I.D.
