Julio Lemos at the Mazza Castle

Please join us at the Mazza Castle for an evening of music with virtuoso 7-string guitarist Julio Lemos.

Experience the rich textures of Brazilian instrumental music with Julio Lemos, a virtuoso of the 7-string guitar whose performances blend deep tradition with inventive expression.

Drawing from the classical precision of Villa-Lobos and Radamés Gnattali and the rhythmic soul of choro and samba, Julio’s music is rooted in the legacy of masters like Dino 7 Cordas, Rafael Rabelo, and Baden Powell. His sound is at once grounded and exploratory—effortlessly moving between intricate counterpoint, spontaneous improvisation, and the driving pulse of samba-jazz.

A professor at the Federal University of Goiás since 2010, Julio holds a doctorate in music and has recorded with renowned artists like Hermeto Pascoal and Carlos Malta. His international career includes tours and workshops across Europe, the U.S., and China, as well as judging the São Paulo carnival. In 2023 and 2024, he performed extensively in Brazil and abroad, collaborated with major artists, and released his CD/DVD Julio Lemos Brasil Acústico, reinforcing his role as a representative of Brazilian music.
