The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Discover Choro music. Roots jazz from Brazil is considered Brazil's first "urban pop" music. In this unique show, you will experience a wide range of pieces of Choro and other genres by many of Brazil's important 20th-century composers — Pixinguinha (the Duke Ellington of Brazil), Jacob do Bandolim, and many more — three acts. Choro da Alegria (quartet), Jasnam Daya Singh (Piano), Kerry Politzer/Ben Graves Duo (Piano/Guitar).

Hear the intricate and sultry instrumental melodies of classic choro, the edgy syncopation of modern choro, and rhythmic samba. This is a rare opportunity to hear a wide range of composers, performed by three diverse acts: Solo Piano, Piano Guitar Duo, Quartet (flute, guitar, pandeiro, and cavaquinho). Special guests: Alexandra Santos (vocals) and Anderson Reis (percussion).
