Corcovado at Midnight – An Astrud and Joao Gilberto Tribute
Jun 6 | 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Brazilian, Bossa Nova, Soft, Intimate, Romantic
Eliza Wheaton graces the stage with an elegant tribute to the timeless Astrud and João Gilberto, the mother and father of bossa nova. Singing classics such as “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Água de Beber,” and “Corcovado,” Eliza transports audiences to a small room in Rio de Janeiro with its window open as the rhythms of Brazil and the ocean drift softly inside. This memorable performance celebrates not only the birth and revolution of bossa nova, but also the feeling of saudade—that uniquely Brazilian sense of longing. It invites listeners to slow down, lean in, and experience the romance, restraint, and quiet emotion that define the genre.
