We had a wonderful Saturday at Creative Alliance in Baltimore to celebrate both São João and the end of our Spring 2023 semester.

What an incredible concert, full of nostalgia, friendship, and community! We were emotional hearing some of Lulu’s classic songs and experiencing the energy that his band brought to Maryland.

On March 11, EducArte presented Monobloco at Hook Hall in Washington, DC, as part of their 2023 US Tour.

We had an amazing time at Creative Alliance’s annual Viva Brasil! Carnival Dance Party in Baltimore yesterday!

We had a fantastic time yesterday presenting at the 2023 Comparative International Education Society (CIES) conference at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, DC.

This week we were thrilled to perform at the inauguration ceremony for the Pan-American Health Organization’s new director, Dr. Jarbas Barbosa! We were invited to give a short frevo presentation to give tribute to Dr. Barbosa’s home state of Pernambuco. It was an honor to share frevo dance and music with this audience. We performed a medley of classic frevo tunes (Evocação No. 1, Lágrimas de um Folião, Duda no Frevo, and, of course, Vassourinhas) with Brian Falkowski on saxophone, Pablo Regis on pandeiro, and Kate Spanos dancing.

It was a full house at our first céilí of the year at Glen Echo Park last weekend!
