Quarteto Vivace Brasil

Quarteto Vivace Brasil, Founded in 2007 by four master musicians, QUARTETO VIVACE BRASIL is one of the most exciting new groups on the South American music scene. The quartet was quickly booked up for a nearly month-long premiere U.S. tour, and they proceeded to conquer the hearts and ears of listeners from New York City and Boston to New Orleans, Texas and California, winning standing ovations from packed halls and high praise from the teachers whose students interacted with the group during their many school visits. Their current U.S. tour brings the quartet to Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas and California.
