In this series of three weekly Zoom sessions, I share with participants how a unique musical language created in Rio de Janeiro in the 1860s evolved, adapted and continues to thrive worldwide. We’ll meet the pioneers, the developers, the innovators and the keepers of the flame of choro as we travel through more than 150 years of music history.
In each 2-hour session I share recordings, documents, scores and many stories about this musical genre that combines European musical structures with African rhythmic esthetics, resulting in a powerful Brazilian sound that continues to attract musicians and listeners of all ages and is incorporated into many other genres. The music will be heard and discussed within the social, political and cultural context of its times.
You can purchase an access pass to view all 3 sessions or each one separately. Access to all support materials (scores, texts) is included.
Session 1 – the birth of choro as a unique blend of disparate sources. Street choro and parlor choro as basic types. The musical pioneers of the 19th century.
Session 2 – the evolution of choro as it gathers wider influences and grows through the first half of the 20th century.
Session 3 – recent developments and future trends as choro expands worldwide.
Open to all music lovers of all levels.
Sign up for $120 for the complete course, or $50 for each individual session.
