Ricardo Herz and Fábio Peron
Violin and ten-string mandolin in an agile Brazilian conversation, always open to improvisation.
Ricardo Herz and Fábio Peron revisit classics of choro and forró, present original compositions and turn the stage into a space for attentive listening, counterpoint and good humour. The acoustic sound of the two instruments brings every detail of their dialogue to the foreground.
Fábio Peron — ten-string mandolin
The duo live
Pixinguinha’s Cochichando reveals the lightness and interplay between violin and mandolin.
Fábio Peron
Mandolinist, composer and arranger Fábio Peron is one of the leading musicians of his generation. His work spans different periods and styles of Brazilian music, with the ten-string mandolin as his principal instrument.
Ricardo Herz
Violinist, composer, arranger and producer Ricardo Herz has developed a distinctive language for Brazilian violin, bringing the instrument close to choro, the rabeca — traditional Brazilian fiddle — the accordion and improvisation.
