Welcome to the 15th year of Centrum’s Brazilian Choro workshop! If you haven’t already discovered the charm, Afro-Brazilian grooves, and irresistible challenge to play this music, then you’re in for a delightful journey. Choro provides a dynamic common ground for classical musicians who like beautifully sculpted melodies, and folk or jazz musicians who like the freedom to improvise on those melodies and their accompaniments.

Led by our Artistic Director, Dudu Maia, our world-class faculty will inspire you to learn choro repertoire, stylistic characteristics, and historical background to this uniquely Brazilian music. Join us and experience the infectious joy of playing choro with others in ensembles, masterclasses, and jam sessions called roda’s.

Check out the details below and sign up soon. We can accept 60 participants and we always fill up to the brim! 

REGISTRATION OPENS IN NOVEMBER!
