"Richard
Boukas and Jovino Santos Neto offered
our students an incredibly inspiring day. Their workshop was
well-designed and gave everyone a chance to experience Brazilian
music first-hand through actual performance. The evening's
concert was a great success, enlightening and infectious.
It
was obvious to all that they are world class performers.
We would love to have them return."

Richard
and Jovino's workshop at CCM was really
marvelous.
They were informative, enthusiastic, and extremely engaging
with our students, who left with a great sense of excitement
about Brazilian music.
Both
of them are musicians and teachers of the highest order.

"Thank
you so much for your terrific workshop,
'Improv: A Universal Language' at the
2002 Chamber Music America national conference.
Your session touched upon styles that we rarely get to present
and honor.
The CMA Membership values this event quite strongly because
of the breadth and depth of viewpoints and opinions we elicit
from people like you.
I'm delighted you could be with us.
David Ezer,
CMA Conference Director
