Mondo Chôro live in Viersen

Experience Mondo Chôro live on January 29th

Mondo Chôro will be performing at Weberhaus Viersen on January 29, 2027. The ensemble specializes in *choro*, a vibrant Brazilian instrumental genre originating in Rio de Janeiro in the late 19th century. Characterized by its complex harmonies, improvisational elements, and virtuosic playing, choro blends European salon music with African rhythms and indigenous Brazilian influences. Mondo Chôro typically features instruments such as the *bandolim* (Brazilian mandolin), guitar, flute, and percussion, delivering energetic and technically demanding performances.

Weberhaus Viersen is a cultural center housed within a historic building in Viersen, Germany.

Since its repurposing as a cultural venue in 1984, Weberhaus Viersen has become known for hosting a diverse program of concerts, exhibitions, and workshops. The building itself retains many of its original architectural features, contributing to its unique atmosphere. It is particularly noted for its intimate concert space which fosters close interaction between performers and audience members.
