Experience Toninho Horta live on September 26th

Toninho Horta, a highly influential Brazilian guitarist and composer, will perform at 北とぴあ　さくらホール in Tokyo, Japan on September 26, 2026. Horta’s music is deeply rooted in Brazilian popular music, particularly bossa nova and samba, but incorporates elements of jazz harmony and improvisation. He is known for his sophisticated chord voicings, intricate fingerstyle guitar playing, and lyrical compositions that often explore themes of Brazilian culture and everyday life. Throughout a career spanning decades, he has collaborated with numerous prominent musicians including Milton Nascimento and Elis Regina.

北とぴあ　さくらホール (Kitatopia Sakura Hall) is a significant concert venue located within the Kita-Tokyo Civic Center in Tokyo’s Kita ward. Opened in 1991, it’s designed with a focus on acoustic excellence and hosts a diverse range of performances including classical music, jazz, contemporary dance, and traditional Japanese arts. The hall's main auditorium features a "vineyard style" seating arrangement – inspired by the Berliner Philharmonie – which aims to provide excellent sightlines and sound quality from all locations within the space.
