Brazilian musicians in Australia

With the support of Monash University and the Council for Australia Latin America Relations (COALAR), two fabulous Brazilian musicians, Carlos Galvão - director of Brasilia¹s Music School and a double bass player and composer, and his brother Luis Galvão (Lula) - a well-known guitarist and arranger based in Rio, are to visit Melbourne and Sydney in May 2007.

The visit is the second leg of an Australia-Brazil music exchange, the first of which involved two Australian musicians (Doug de Vries, guitarist and Rob Burke, saxophonist and head of jazz studies at Monash) participating in the Curso de Verão at the Escola da Musica in Brasilia.

Below are the details for Carlos and Lula Galvão¹s shows in Sydney and Melbourne, where they will play with Rob Burke and Doug de Vries.
