Ebinho Cardoso and Ian Coury is a musical duo to be celebrated and contemplated with joy. Two legitimate representatives of Brazilian music—fruits of different generations—proving that music travels through time with mastery. The duo plays with rigor and spontaneity of classical Choro and Brazilian Samba, supplementing Ian's own compositions, especially when combining different sounds of a properly tuned mandolin and bass piccolo, and visited upon the already known-to-be beautiful voice of Ebinho.


The sound of Ebinho Cardoso & Ian Coury is marked by uniqueness, either by early virtuosity Ian, is the original and fascinating way in which Ebinho has played his double bass, certainly by the combination of these two elements and the certainty that something completely new and inviting in the air.


Registration is not required but the limited amount of seating is first come, first served. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be moved indoors to the Rabb Lecture Hall.


Ebinho Cardoso is a virtuoso on his instrument. Due to the uniqueness of his music and technique, he is one of the most respected Brazilian bassists of the new generation. Composer, arranger, singer, and researcher, Ebinho uses atypical elements of the electric bass, showing its range of possibilities. In addition to playing the bass as an accompanying instrument or as a solo instrument, he has found a unique way of playing chords on the bass that characterize his playing style; a style that combines precision and refinement. In part, he is able to achieve his sound by tuning his instrument in new ways and at higher pitches. His music blends traces of jazz with the idiosyncrasies of classical music interwoven with the rich sounds of his native Brazil.


Ian Coury comes from Brazil’s capital city, Brasília, where he began playing mandolin at age 8, studying with Marcelo Lima at the Raphael Rabello School of Choro. In 2019 Ian received a scholarship to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, where, in his second year, he received the String Department Award, and has already taught a choro workshop at Harvard University. Before coming to the US to study, Ian had already made the journey to perform at NAMM (2017, 2018), but his professional trajectory in Brazil began much earlier; in 2014 he played both solo and with Armandinho at the Club do Choro in Brasília; 2014 and 2015, he was recognized for his merits by the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Arts, History, and Literature; in 2016 he appeared on the cover of Choro Magazine, and received a culture award from Brazil’s House of Representatives.
