27th. – 29th. JUNE 2025 | BRASILIAN FIDDLE WORKSHOP WITH RICARDO HERZ
Ricardo Herz is a worldwide phenomenon with his violin and is quickly recognized by his individual style. With his instrument, he imitates the snorting of the accordion, the buzzing of the fiddle and the beautiful melodies of traditional and modern choro. His blend of Brazilian and African rhythms with jazz improvisation and contemporary composition has led to international recognition.
Herz has a degree in classical violin from the University of São Paulo. Since then, he has studied at the renowned Berklee College of Music (USA) and at the Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood, the school of the legendary French jazz violinist.
Since his return to Brazil in 2010, he has collaborated musically with many of Brazil's most important musicians. He has recorded a number of albums and is also a dedicated teacher and promoter of the Brazilian violin.
Here you can get a taste for the music: Forró Experience.
And YOU will have the opportunity to take part in his course again at the second Forró Experience! He will be back in Leisnig from June 26 to 29, 2025. During the festival he will teach an 8-hour workshop in person. If you play the violin, viola or cello, Ricardo will take you into the world of Brazilian music. He will teach you the concept of swing, improvisation and chords to immerse yourself in the world of choro, forró, jazz and other popular Brazilian rhythms.
