Pop-Up Concerts
HCMC connects people through music with its free community concert series, presented in spaces throughout the city of Beacon. Often in collaboration with local shops, galleries, studios, churches, and parks around the city, these events are open to visitors and locals alike. Discover a dynamic performance in a non-traditional place, where everyone can enjoy music in a casual atmosphere.
We’re SUPER excited to bring you another community Pop-Up concert, featuring Choro das 3, a group of three sisters from São Paulo, Brazil, performing their enormously popular Choro music. Choro das 3 has been touring the US all year, and we are very fortunate to be able to schedule them for a stop in Beacon.

Choro das 3 is a trio of three sisters from São Paulo, Brazil, who are highly regarded as some of the best choro musicians in the world. (Choro is an enormously appealing musical style that originated in Brazil over 100 years ago and is now popular internationally.) In Brazil, Choro das 3 has been featured on national television, played for the president, and played for huge audiences at national festivals. The band toured the US annually from 2013 – 2019, playing concert venues, festivals and universities from coast to coast. They’ve also toured internationally and have released 11 CD’s.
Of the three sisters in the band, (family name Meyer Ferreira), Corina plays flute and piccolo, Lia plays acoustic 7 string guitar, and Elisa, who writes many of their tunes, plays mandolin, clarinet, banjo, piano and accordion. From the time of the band’s founding, their father, Eduardo, played percussion. Tragically, he died from Covid early in the pandemic. This is the band’s first US tour since the pandemic.
