"The Assads' ensemble passages flowed with the living, vibrant voice of a single instrument." — Los Angeles Times
The 11th annual International Guitar Festival takes a journey from the pulsating city of Rio de Janeiro to the jungles of the Amazon and back again, as Odair and Sergio Assad perform their personal style of Brazilian guitar. The Assad Brothers are the world's pre-eminent guitar duo, performing wide-ranging music from classical Bach to fiery Django Reinhardt. The Brazilian Guitar Festival also includes acoustic jazz guitar master Romero Lubambo; guitar, percussion/vocalist Celso Machado; and their own remarkable sister, guitar/vocalist Badi Assad.
This event is a fundraiser for Northstate Public Radio KCHO and KFPR.
