Brazilian-born brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have redefined classical guitar through six decades of unmatched innovation, virtuosity and ensemble artistry. Trained in a rich Brazilian musical tradition and guided by Monina Távora, a disciple of Andrés Segovia, the duo has inspired leading composers including Astor Piazzolla, Terry Riley, Radamés Gnattali and Roland Dyens, while Sérgio’s original works have become central pillars of their repertoire.

Celebrating their 60th Anniversary in 2026, the Assads bring their Farewell Tour to the PSU Guitar Series. Their program spans folk, jazz, Latin traditions and masterful classical transcriptions from Bach, Rameau, Scarlatti, Debussy, Gershwin and Ginastera. A rare opportunity to experience one of the most influential guitar duos in history in an intimate concert setting.
