Widely regarded as the premier classical guitar duo, the Assad Brothers have dazzled audiences for more than four decades with an exciting blend of music from the Baroque to Modern eras.
The New York Times says: " A kind of wizardry lies within the playing of Sergio and Odair Assad… they produce a supple, flawless unified sound." "Because they have been performing together for most of their lives, and because they play from memory, there is a lively interaction between them that creates the impression that they are improvising like a couple of virtuosic, perhaps even telepathic, jazz players."
