The Brasil Guitar Duo will perform a blend of traditional and Brazilian works Friday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m. in the University of Wyoming Fine Arts concert hall.

Tickets cost $22 for the public, $18 for seniors and students. For tickets and information, call (307) 766-6666 or go online at www.uwyo.edu/finearts.

"The maturity of musicianship and technical virtuosity is simply outstanding," says a Classical Guitar Magazine review.

Joao Luiz and Douglas Lora met in Sao Paulo as teenage guitar students and performed together for more than 12 years. Douglas Lora earned his master's degree at the University of Miami. Joao Luiz is currently pursuing his master's degree at New York's Mannes College of Music.

The duo performs interpretations of choro (popular), samba, and Brazilian folk music genres that are quite jazzy. They also perform classical music by Debussy and Scarlatti.
