In the organizer's words:

Choro is the first authentic urban music style in Brazil and has existed since the end of the 19th century. Today it can be heard on almost every continent. Choro is a unique blend of European classical music and salon music, underpinned by Afro-Brazilian rhythms. Choro is also a way of life. Members of different communities visit each other to take part in so-called Rodas (jam sessions), which contributes to an intensive cultural and personal exchange.

The project "Chora Berlim" and the album of the same name document such an exchange: the best representatives of Rio de Janeiro's lively scene make music together with chorões from Hamburg and Berlin. Most of the compositions were written by the German-Ukrainian singer and composer Rosa Morena Russa, alias Kateryna Ostrovska. After its release in Germany, the album met with a very positive response in Europe, Brazil, Japan and South Korea. On this evening, the compositions from the album will be presented live by a five-piece, cross-border band.
