Elis & Catherine at the Casa Phoenix

Fresh off their first European Tour, Elis Roseira and Catherine Bent fly in to Washington DC to perform at the Casa Phoenix for a benefit concert for the Washington Area Bicyclist Association's Climate Ride!*

Tickets: $40
Dinner starts at 7:00PM, music at 8:00PM
1307 Corcoran St. NW
A full vegetarian dinner and sangria included!

Elis sings and plays guitar, and Catherine plays cello. Their unique voice arose while exploring their shared passion for Brazilian music, in particular choro and MPB (Brazilian popular music).

Their repertoire includes original compositions and music of Tom Jobim, Milton Nascimento, Chico Buarque, Ernesto Nazareth and Guinga.

Elis & Catherine's love of dialogue between the traditional and the modern is revealed in their compositions, their choice of repertoire, and their unconventional arranging. Elis & Catherine pay tribute to the great composers and lyricists of Brazil, with touches of North and South American folk music, European dance music and African rhythms, elegantly rendered on bowed, plucked and vocal strings. This concert is one-of-a-kind and not to be missed!
