We kick off the month of September with a very exciting performance by Ernesto's Club. Ernesto’s Club is a piano and percussion duo which explores the choro and samba traditions of Brazil. Their name is a tribute to Ernesto Nazareth, the turn-of-the-century Brazilian composer who combined the Western classical with Afro-Brazilian traditions to create choro music, which evolved into samba, bossa nova and Musica Popular Brasileira. Their music is animated, joyful, and syncopated, and always bubbling with spontaneity. Both pianist Rob Curto and percussionist Gregg Mervine are Americans who learned their craft in Brazil, where they have lived off-and-on since the early 2000s.
