The Robert Everest Expedition
The Robert Everest Expedition is a Minneapolis based world music ensemble blending Latin American, Mediterranean, and other global influences, moving freely from French blues to Brazilian funk, Spanish flamenco to Italian folk, Cuban Son to West African Agbadja, along with original pieces in multiple languages. Led by multi instrumentalist Robert Everest, whose studies, travels, and linguistic expertise allow him to interpret a wide international repertoire, the group features musicians driven by curiosity, diverse musical pursuits, and a shared passion for global sounds. Together they create an experience that feels like a journey around the world, offering audiences a vibrant and unclassifiable musical ride.
Choro Borealis
Choro Borealis brings together some of the Twin Cities’ finest musicians who share a deeply rooted passion for Brazilian music: Pat O’Keefe on clarinet, Tim O’Keefe on percussion and mandolin, Robert Everest on 7-string guitar and vocals, John Croarkin on flute, and David Burk on cavaquinho. These talented musicians have been performing and studying Brazilian music across the globe for over 30 years.
Choro (pronounced shor’-oh) is a lively instrumental music genre native to Rio de Janeiro with strong European and African roots, and which developed at the same time as Ragtime and Dixieland Jazz in the US. Performing both choro standards and original compositions, the magic of Choro Borealis is the playful interplay among the musicians, and the many varieties of instruments they employ in bringing choro music to life for their audiences.
