Duo Madrid is the attraction at Domingo no Jardim on May 11

Formed by guitarists Adriana Ballesté and Mara Lúcia Ribeiro, the Madrid Duo is the attraction at Domingo no Jardim on the 11th. The show's repertoire offers a journey through time and space, from the German Baroque, with Christian Gottlieb Scheidler and Johann Sebastian Bach, through French Impressionism, with Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré, to the impetus of the Spaniards Manuel de Falla and Isaac Albeniz. The duo also strolls through Latin America, with the Argentinian milongas of Jorge Cardoso and Abel Fleury, the Paraguayan dances of Augustin Barrios and the Brazilianness of contemporaries Egberto Gismonti, Arthur Verocai, Luis Carlos Barbieri, Maria do Céu, Rick Ventura and Sergio Assad.

Adriana Ballesté has a PhD in Musicology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. She has been working in cultural research since 1994. Since 2011, she has coordinated the Virtual Museum of Musical Instruments. In 2017 she released the CD Chuva no Mar.

Mara Lúcia has a bachelor's degree in guitar from the School of Music at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. She specializes in flamenco guitar and has performed with various flamenco companies. She has been teaching guitar at the Villa-Lobos School of Music for 40 years.

Adriana and Mara Lúcia are currently members of the AV-RIO Guitar Orchestra.
