Bandolin virtuoso Hamilton de Holanda joins the JLCO with Wynton Marsalis for a vibrant celebration of Brazilian jazz in Rose Theater. The program brings the iconic music of Moacir Santos, the pioneering composer who helped shape Brazil’s modern sound, to life alongside Holanda’s own electrifying new works.

Fresh off a win for Best Latin Jazz Album at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards for Live In NYC recorded at our very own Dizzy’s Club, Holanda arrives with fresh acclaim and a dynamic creative spark. Holanda’s magnetic stage presence and command of the 10-string bandolim make him one of the most thrilling voices in Brazilian music today. His dazzling improvisation, bold musical curiosity, and natural chemistry with the JLCO ignite every moment, creating an atmosphere that feels joyful, fresh, and spontaneous. Audiences can expect a sweeping journey through Brazil’s rhythmic landscape, brought to life by artists who elevate it with energy and virtuosity.
