Facebook
Grammy nominee guitarist and composer Douglas Lora’s moves easily through the universes of Classical and Popular Music. He has collaborated with artists such as YoYo Ma, Paquito d’Rivera, and the Assad Brothers, among others. He is also a member of the Brasil Guitar Duo with which he has performed extensively at the most important theaters and concert halls worldwide. He has been a soloist with the Dallas, Houston, and Delaware Symphonies in the US, and with the OSESP in Brazil. He has recorded the complete works for two guitars by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Leo Brouwer (Naxos), and the Brasil Guitar Duo’s latest album with Delaware Symphony conducted by David Amado was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2018. From his isolation in rural São Paulo State, he sent us a beautiful version of the first movement from J.S. Bach's Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Minor.
