4:00 p.m.
Workshop in Jay Rehearsal Hall, Ford Center for the Fine Arts, Knox College

7:30 p.m.
Concert in Kresge Recital Hall, Ford Center for the Fine Arts, Knox College
Free and open to the public

Brazilian singer and guitarist Luciano Antonio returns to Knox to present two free public events at Knox College on Saturday, January 12.   

The workshop will show how to play Brazilian percussion instruments, including the drums, shakers and bells. Attendees will have the chance to participate in a traditional Brazilian Batucada, a sub-style of samba drumming. No musical experience or background is required and is open to all ages.

Luciano Antonio's work as a guitarist and singer showcases a contemporary jazz interpretation of traditional Brazilian folk music. A native of rural southern Brazil, he is a graduate of University of Missouri-Kansas City and performs throughout the Chicago area and across the country.

Luciano's performance takes the audience on a tour of Brazil by presenting a wide variety of Brazilian compositions combined with his own originals. In his Performance Luciano contrasts songs that have rich and complex harmonies and melodies with simple rhythms against songs that have simple harmonies and melodies with very complex rhythms, and the dynamics range from pure solo guitar and voice to the full sound of the rich Brazilian percussion in a fascinating musical way. Luciano released two albums of original music "Vida De Artista - An Artist's Life" in 2011,  “Sem Palavras – Without Words” in 2015. And in 2019 he released his third album: "Luciano Antonio Quintet - Live At Jazz Showcase (w/special guests Breno Sauer and Neusa Sauer)" .  Make no mistake; Luciano has placed his stamp on the Brazilian music scene in Chicago.
