Sérgio and Odair Assad | 60th Anniversary Farewell Tour at Norfolk Academy

Co-presented by Virginia Arts Festival and Tidewater Classical Guitar

“Revelatory…supple, ­almost telepathic, guitar duo ­performances.” (San ­Francisco Classical Voice). Brazilian-born brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have created a new standard of guitar expression, with exceptional artistry and uncanny ensemble-playing informed by a deep family musical tradition. In 2026, the Assads will celebrate their 60th Anniversary with a new album of compositions by Sérgio and a tour across North America. Savor a compelling blend of styles, periods and cultures including classical, folk, jazz and Latin music in this captivating concert!
