------------------
Cincinnati-based pianist Ben Tweedt and Cleveland-based flutist Bryan Kennard spoke on several occasions over the last couple years about their mutual admiration for Hermeto Pascoal's music. Hermeto passed in September 2025 at the age of 89. While the world lost one of its bright, creative sparks, Hermeto left us an incredible amount of music to enjoy. Join us as we share some of our favorite compositions in this cross-state collaboration featuring musicians from Cincinnati and Northeast Ohio.
