After being rained out in 2014, the Evening in Brazil ensemble — consisting of university professors from around the country — returns to play Jazz in June. The group’s guitarist is Christopher Neale, director of research at the University of Nebraska’s Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute and a Brazil native. Other members include Mike Christiansen, Eric Nelson, Linda Linford, Lars Yorgason, Don Keipp and Travis Taylor. The ensemble debuted in 2009 at Utah State University, playing music from the bossa nova movement. The show was well-received and has become an annual tradition. The June 11 program will include classic works by Grammy Award-winning musician Antônio Carlos Jobim and other music exploring different regional rhythms of Brazil.
