Duo Assad

The seventh International Guitar Festival is co-sponsored by

tucsonguitarsociety.org

We thank the
John & Joan DAddario Foundation
for generously sponsoring this concert!

Brazilian-born brothers Srgio and Odair Assad have set the benchmark
for all other guitarists by creating a new standard of guitar innovation,
ingenuity and expression. Their exceptional artistry and uncanny ensemble
playing still astonish even after fifty years (next year!) of performing. In
addition to setting new standards, the Assads have played a major role in
creating and introducing new music for two guitars. Their virtuosity has
inspired a wide range of composers to write for them including Astor
Piazzolla, Terry Riley, Radams Gnattali, Marlos Nobre, Nikita Koshkin,
Roland Dyens, Jorge Morel, Edino Krieger and Francisco Mignone. Now,
Srgio Assad is adding to their repertoire by composing music for the
duo and for various musical partners, including such renowned artists
as Yo-Yo Ma, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Fernando Suarez Paz, Paquito
DRivera, Gidon Kremer and Dawn Upshaw. He has been nominated for
yet two more Latin Classical Grammys in the Best Classical Composition
Category for his piece for the LA Guitar Quartet and the Delaware
Symphony entitled, Interchange and for Maracaipe for the Beijing
Guitar Duo.
The Assads are also recognized as prolific recording artists, primarily
for the Nonesuch and GHA labels. In 2001, Nonesuch Records released
Srgio and Odair Assad Play Piazzolla, which later won a Latin Grammy.
In 2003, the Brazilian record Obrigado Brazil was released featuring Rosa
Passos, Egberto Gismonti and Cyro Baptista. Srgio arranged several of
the works on the disc, which captured a Grammy in 2004. Their seventh
Nonesuch recording, released in the fall 2007, is called Jardim Abandonado
after a piece by Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was nominated for Best Classical
Album, and Srgio went on to win the Latin Grammy for his composition,
Tahhiyya Li Oussilina. In 2009, the brothers were featured on Yo-Yo Mas
chart topping release, Songs of Joy & Peace, which features other guest
artists as diverse as James Taylor and Dave Brubeck. In the piece Famlia,
Yo-Yo plays Srgios composition featuring mother, Angelina Assad, sister
Badi and children Clarice, Rodrigo and Carolina. The release topped both
the classical and the mainstream Billboard charts and won a Grammy for
Best Classical Crossover. In April 2012, Sergio and Odair toured North
America with Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott, in a program of Latin
American works as arranged by Sergio as well as some of his original
compositions, highlighted by concerts at the new Smith Center in Las
Vegas and Chicagos Symphony Hall (and Tucson!). In the spring of 2013,
Sergio and Odair planned another tour of their much loved trio with the
inimitable Paquito DRivera as well as a record release of their project,
Dances from the New World nominated for yet another Latin Grammy,
as Best Instrumental Album.
Odair is based in Brussels where he teaches at Ecole Suprieure des Arts.
Srgio resides in San Francisco, where he is on the faculty of the San
Francisco Conservatory.
