To reserve a seat: e-mail: [email protected], (503) 307-4907
Choro Da Alegria is a Portland based ensemble dedicated to playing beautiful melodies of Brazil. The group draws much inspiration from the genre “Choro” (also called chorinho) which means “cry” or “lament” and which is sometimes called “Brazilian ragtime.” Despite its meaning, the music, created in the late 19th century in Rio de Janeiro, commonly has very fast, virtuosic, and happy-sounding melodies. The group plays many choro classics, including the compositions of two of choro’s greatest composers, Jacob do Bandolim and Pixinguinha (Alfredo Viana). Beyond choro, the group also performs classic tunes in the Bossa Nova and Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB) repertoires, such as music by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luiz Bonfa, and Paulinho da Viola. The group released its first CD, “quiosque,” in June, 2015.

First United Methodist Church

Beaverton, Oregon 97005
Guitar Salon (formerly Fireside Chats) has been moved to the SECOND Thursday of each month.
Repertoire for the new instrument began in the late 18th century with composers like Fernando Sor, Mauro Guiliani, Matteo Carcassi and others. This was the first era where the guitarist went from reading tablature to musical notation and this era is ripe with methods on how to play the classical guitar. While these studies are pedagogical in nature they are, in many cases, beautiful works as well.
