A graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and a virtuoso mandolinist with over twenty years professional performing experience, Tim Connell has created a sophisticated and original global mandolin style. Regarded as one of the top North American interpreters of Brazilian choro, Tim has also developed his own unique voice for the instrument, described in a recent Mandolin Magazine cover story as “fiery and energetic, soulful and evocative.”
Cesar Garabini is an Italo-Brazilian guitarist from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Since he first heard the sound of the guitar, it has always been his passion. Everything he knows about music was discovered on his own through years of listening, jamming, and performing. Playing both classical 6 and 7-string guitars, he deftly plays Samba, Choro, Bossa Nova, Baiao, Forrò, Waltz, Classical, MPB (musica popular brasileira), Portuguese "Fado" and more.
