Guitar Players
UNIT 5
Sérgio and Odair Assad (guitar)
Brazilian-born brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have created a new standard of guitar innovation, ingenuity and expression. In addition to setting new performance standards, the Assads have played a major role in creating and introducing new music made for two guitars. Their virtuosity has inspired a wide range of composers to write for them including Astor Piazzolla, Nikita Koshkin, Roland Dyens, Edino Krieger, and Francisco Mignone. Now Sérgio Assad is adding to their repertoire by composing music for the duo and for various musical partners both with symphony orchestra and in recitals.
The Assad Brothers began playing the guitar together at an early age and went on to study for seven years with a guitarist/ lutenist Monina Tavora. Their international career began with a major prize at the 1979 Young Artists Competition in Bratislava. Odair lives in Brussels where he teaches at Ecole Supérieure des Arts. Sérgio is now in San Francisco where he is on the faculty of the SF Conservatory.
The Assad’s repertoire includes original music composed by Sérgio, classic folk and jazz music, as well as various styles of Latin music. Their classical repertoire includes transcriptions of the great Baroque keyboard literature of Bach, Rameau, and Scarlatti and adaptations of works by Gershwin, Ginastera, and Debussy. It makes their touring programs a compelling blend of styles, periods and cultures.
In the summer of 2004, Sérgio and Odair arranged a special tour featuring three generations of the Assad family. The family presented a wide variety of Brazilian music featuring their father, Jorge Assad [1924-2011], on the mandolin and the voice of their mother, Angelina Assad.
In February 2011, Odair Assad performed his first solo guitar concert tour in New York and Montreal. Sérgio Assad continues to
29
write music for both solo and duo guitars, which receive numerous Latin Classical Grammy awards in the Best Classical Composition Category.
In 2015, Sérgio and Odair celebrated their 50th anniversary as a duo. They went on a 27-city tour in Brazil followed by ten more in North America. The Guitar Foundation of America awarded the brothers with its Lifetime Achievement Awards in June 2015.
