Quarteto Vivace Brasil
Edson Lopes, guitar; Roberto Colchiesqui, guitar; Tadeu Coelho, flute; Rodrigo Marinonio, percussion
Works by Handel, Albeniz, Bizet and Villa-Lobos, as well as sambas, tangos, choros, and Brazilian popular music.
Quarteto Vivace Brasil is one of the most exciting new groups on the Latin American musical scene. Four master players on two guitars, percussion and flute bring sizzling energy to Brazilian sambas and chôros, Argentinian tangos, American ragtime, and classical pieces from Handel to Bizet’s Carmen to Saint-Säens’ Carnival of the Animals. The quartet was quickly booked up for a nearly month-long premiere US tour, including appearances in New York City, Boston, Milwaukee, New Orleans, San Francisco and many other cities. Randy Morse, the producer and host of the nationally syndicated radio show The Best of Brazil, calls them “four of Brazil's best musicians, who present their well-chosen repertoire with verve, panache and a sensitivity that radiates the exquisite beauty of this music.”
