What is bossa nova? “New wave,” as the name can be translated, is a style of Brazilian music popularized by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes and João Gilberto. Since the 1960s, it has influenced jazz, and compositions such as “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Corcovado” and “How Insensitive” have had a permanent place in the repertoires of many jazz bands and soloists.

Start at 6:00 p.m.. Admission is free.
