Last year’s Gig at the Greenhouses with Alvorada was magical. The sun was shining and we hosted all ages enjoying the great music, atmosphere and food.
Alvorada are the UK’s leading choro ensemble, instrumental music from Rio de Janeiro. From their original compositions to classics of the genre, Alvorada’s shows are filled with lively and expressive melodies combined with infectious Brazilian grooves and playful interaction.
The award-winning quintet have performed at festivals and venues across the UK and beyond, with sell-out shows at the London Jazz Festival, Pizza Express Live and Paris International Choro Festival. Their debut album First Light, released in 2019,was received with much critical acclaim, leading to BBC Radio 3 and Jazz FM appearances. Alvorada also won the LUKAS and Focus Brasil awards for ‘Best Brazilian Band’.
