Bardo Ritmo: a cello & percussion sound journey 

Bardo Ritmo is a meeting of friends blending diverse musical backgrounds and their Jewish and Brazilian heritages into a soundscape that travels the world. Cellist Eric Alterman’s career has spanned ensembles including the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra, the Delgani String Quartet, the Oregon Symphony, and the Portland Cello Project. Lucas Silva brings the diverse rhythms of his native Brazil and a creative palette of worldwide influences into his multi-instrumental playing. Together, they create an ecstatic sound journey that traverses meditative contemplation, hypnotic pulse, and playful spontaneity, inviting both stillness and movement.
