Diálogos Duo CD Recording of “A Dozen Choro Tributes”

Funding will be used to cover all recording and some audio mixing and mastering costs of Diálogos Duo’s second independently-released recording, “Diálogos Duo / Choro”– which features the abovementioned original work composed by Duo guitarist Richard Boukas. Co-founded by Louis Arques and Richard Boukas in 2016, Diálogos Duo presents the largest body of original contemporary Brazilian repertoire for clarinet and guitar: six suites, fifty movements of music. Louis Arques seeks to share this rich artistic and cultural experience directly with fellow faculty and students. Following the release of the CD recording, the Duo will present an interactive performance-demonstration for the DQ community which will include a historical discussion of Brazilian Choro repertoire, its close ties with tonal classical music, and its stylistic-cultural evolution.
