Escola Portátil de Música Big Band – Casa do Choro – UNIRIO – Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷 – Brazilian Music Video: https://lnkd.in/dqnNKqx4 Location: https://lnkd.in/d3p4tKsB "In Rio de Janeiro, the weekly open rehearsal of the *Bandão*—which brings together all the school's students, from beginners to advanced players—has become, through word-of-mouth, a blend of a typical Saturday local activity and an informal tourist attraction. There, at the foot of Urca Hill, curious onlookers and lovers of fine music gather every week to hear arrangements created specifically for the group, ranging from Brazilian music classics to original compositions. The initiative to promote music education through the language of *choro* has, over the past two decades, fostered..." ...training dozens of young musicians active on the national scene. On the other hand, there are thousands of amateur students who play for the love of the music, contributing to its dissemination and to the cultivation of new audiences interested in *choro* and Brazilian music." - https://lnkd.in/dYrQ_Tyv #music #musichistory #musicology #brazilianmusic #choro #musiceducation #musicindustry #riodejaneiro #brazil
