Barcode Quartet Returns from Brazilian Tour

A deep, heartfelt thank you to the musicians for their friendship and incredible music skills; and the people and organizations who helped us putting this tour together: Isabella Tomas, Luciano Dutra, Renan Perobelli, Manoela Wright, Bernardo Oliveira, Mariana Mansur, Pedro Azevedo, Luiza Morandini, Renand Grando, Circuito de Improvisação Livre, Alex Minkin, Ticun Brazil, Chesney Hearst and all their amazing staff & audiences! Without these people's help with housing, funding, producing & setting up shows, publicity, equipment, etc, this tour would not have been possible. We feel privileged to have been part of bringing their artistry to your attention and hope to be back in the future!
