Intertwining the short stories we had the opportunity to tell in 2020:
⁃ The “ConnectChoro” Live (with over 100 interviews).
⁃ The partnership with @escolaraphaelrabello that resulted in a group with over 10 students.
⁃ working with @escoladechorosp that resulted in a group who are helping the school to put English subtitles on the ECSP content, they’re the Choro Translators.
⁃ The study group in the Northern Beaches at @botecomanly .
⁃ The Roda de Choro (Sydney) at @bronte_belo celebrating 3 years.
⁃ Open rehearsals at @charandcodoublebay.
We were very lucky when they all said yes to the crazy idea of joining almost 30 musicians to play the same song! With special thanks to @otaviolcosta who helped make that dream come true. So to say goodbye with happiness and hope to this fateful year we are honoured to present to you a tribute to Choro, a gift for you. Cochichando (Pixinguinha)
