Who are we?
Introducing a vibrant new ensemble dedicated to bringing the rich tradition of Brazilian Choro music to the Netherlands.
Before Jazz made its mark, Choro was already creating a bridge between African rhythms and European classical traditions. In 19th-century Brazil, musicians would charm upper-class parties with performances of Mozart, Schubert, Bach, and Beethoven—infused with African swing and spirited improvisation, crafting new and dazzling melodies.
In our performances, virtuosity meets irresistible melodies and rhythms, offering a blend of sophistication and warmth. It’s music that captivates Jazz lovers with an ear for Latin American folklore, as well as chamber music enthusiasts seeking something unique.
Whether you're organizing a corporate event, festival, theater performance, private home concert, birthday celebration, or any special occasion, our group is the perfect choice to create a refined yet cozy & inviting musical atmosphere.
