Following the warm response to their recent lunchtime concert at the National Concert Hall, Emilie Conway and her band are delighted to present their exploration of the music from Brazil, inviting you to bask in beautiful melodies, the warmth of the Portuguese language, the lyricism of its poets, its gentle swaying grooves and lively sambas.
