Trio Virado

Presented in partnership with St. Louis Classical Guitar.

 

International sensations Amy Porter (flute), Juan-Miguel Hernandez (viola), and João Luiz (guitar), together known as TRIO VIRADO, are taking the role of instrumental chamber music to new heights. Their innovative style has broken boundaries between different cultures and genres of music; from classical, Latin tangos, and 21st century premieres, to innovative scoring of familiar arrangements. TRIO VIRADO has no limits in their ability to perform live concerts and they are equally impressive teaching outreach shows to eager young students at schools and universities.
