Ian Coury is an award-winning 10-string bandolim (Brazilian mandolin) player from Brazil who has shared stages with Brazilian legends like Toninho Horta and Hamilton de Holanda. Still in his early 20s, he is a gifted composer and a phenomenal master of his instrument.


English-born cellist and composer Catherine Bent, an alumna of Cirque du Soleil, has performed and recorded with artists as diverse as Joe Jackson, Lee Konitz, Donna Summer, and poet laureate Robert Pinsky. She tours in Brazil and Europe and has a worldwide reputation as the leading cellist in Brazilian choro music.


The two have a musical connection that transcends their backgrounds and crystallizes around their passion for the Afro-European traditions of Brazil.

Catherine Bent has developed a rhythmic technique for playing the cello that replaces the guitar and percussion in a traditional rhythm section. Each instrument deftly contributing melody, rhythm and harmony, the duo is complete in itself: lyrical, harmonically sophisticated, and deeply grooving. 


Ian and Catherine's unique instrumentation and flights into spontaneous territory set them apart from other choro musicians in Brazil and beyond. In addition to representing both classic and modern repertoire, they also perform their original compositions in choro, samba and forró styles.


$15 in advance, $20 at the door. Students $10 and kids under 18 free at the door.


Advance ticket buyers can show their ticket for 10% off dinner (alcohol excluded) at Via Cannuccia, down the street at 1739 Dorchester Ave.


The Dot Jazz Series is co-produced by Mandorla Music and Greater Ashmont Main Street.
