What is SA CHORO?

CHORO is a musical idiom that emerged in Rio de Janeiro around the same time as jazz was born in New Orleans (late 1800s), and they share some common ancestors in Africa, Europe, and the Americas...

Join us as we delve collaboratively into this beautiful repertoire. There's something for just about everyone. A diverse array of instruments are welcomed, including flute, clarinet, sax, violin, cello, accordion, bass, mandolin, cavaquinho (like a ukelele), guitar (especially 7-string), pandeiro (tambourine), and other percussion. Whether you're a reader or an ear player, we'll find a way for you to get involved. There's also wonderful couples dancing...
 
Maybe you'd just like to listen? Bring a little something to eat or drink, pull up a chair, and enjoy. This is an ongoing event, so you're free to come listen the first time, maybe play the second...
