McCain: Brasil Guitar Duo - Nov. 10
Classical Guitar Magazine exclaims: “The maturity of musicianship and technical virtuosity …is simply outstanding,” in describing the Brasil Guitar Duo, winner of the 2006 Concert Artists Guild International Competition. With a full touring schedule on two continents and critically acclaimed recordings, the ensemble has quickly emerged as one of the preeminent guitar duos of its generation. The ensemble has developed a broad repertoire of classical guitar duos (Bach, Sor, Scarlatti) and in recent years has broadened its aesthetic to encompass the traditional music of its native land (samba, maxixe, choro and baião). These diverse influences come together in the duo’s innovative programming, a seamless blend of traditional and Brazilian works.
Experience the Brasil Guitar Duo in the intimate Nichols Theatre!
