Choro Das Tres at MAFM - THURS /12

  • Michigan Academy of Folk Music 451 Columbia Avenue Holland, MI, 49423 United States (map)

We are ecstatic to be starting the MAFM House Concert Series with a bang by welcoming Choro Das 3, all the way from Brazil! They will be with us for two shows, THURSDAY 9/12 and FRIDAY 9/13.

Choro das 3 is a family based band composed by three sisters: Corina (flutes), Lia (7 string acoustic guitar) and Elisa (mandolin, clarinet, banjo and piano) and their father Eduardo (pandeiro).

The band plays Brazilian Instrumental Music, and their main style is Choro music, an instrumental music genre that emerged in Brazil on the 19th century.

The band has performed in concerts and workshops all over Brazil, USA, Mexico and France. In 2008 they were awarded the Best Group of Popular Music according to the Paulista Association of Critics of Art. In 50 years of this award, it was the first time a group of instrumental music won.

Prior to Thursday’s performance will be a workshop with the group, beginning at 4:30pm! This will be an amazing opportunity to learn from them, ask questions, and get an opportunity to meet the band! Tickets are $5 for MAFM Homeschool Program students and $20 for the public. Email mifolkmusic@gmail.com to register!

Advance Tickets $25 | Door $30. Tickets available here.
