Welcome, and thanks for your interest in Choro Noho 2025, brought to you by Choro Camp New England!

If you are new to choro, you are in for a treat. The genre began to take shape in mid-19th century Rio de Janeiro, where the music of the Portuguese court met that of Afro-Brazilians. Here in the US, a similar process gave us first ragtime, then jazz, and just as these genres are seen as prototypically “American”, so too is choro recognized as uniquely, exquisitely Brazilian.

Every year, Choro Camp New England brings chorões (that is, people who play choro) to the campus of Smith College for a week of study and jamming with masters of the genre. This concert will feature all the artists teaching at Choro Camp this year and serve as our grand finale.

You can learn more about Choro Noho’s performers on the Artists page of this website, or simply scroll through some of the videos below. These artists have never come together in one place before — and likely never will again! So come treat yourself to a one-time-only performance of Brazilian music at its best.
