House Concert in Livermore -- Berkeley Choro Ensemble
Berkeley Choro Ensemble
Sunday, September 22, 2024 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
(hosted by Livermore Jazz Society)
The Berkeley Choro Ensemble (pronounced "shoro"), is a group of world-class musicians from the SF Bay Area that made its debut in January, 2010, at the Berkeley Public Library. The group celebrates the music, culture and history of Brazil, with a special emphasis on the Choro genre, a style of music which emerged in the 1800's in Brazil, fusing the music of Brazil's European immigrants and the native music of Brazil's indigenous and African-Brazilian population. In particular, the choro sound is somewhat akin to a combination of European classical music, ragtime, and blues. Historically, the choro style influenced Brazil's most famous classical composer, Heitor Villa Lobos, to compose some of the world's most hauntingly beautiful music, the Bachianas Brasileiras. Their repertoire also includes samba, bossa nova, jazz, and the music of Northeast Brazil.
