The pair will be accompanied by Eric Garland on drums and joined by other surprise guests. Sonia Caltvedt is a classically trained flutist who fell in love with Latin music a little over a decade ago. Since then, she has performed in the flamenco-latin ensemble Potingue, bossa nova quintet Bossa Five-0, Brazilian pop band Brazilvox, original tango ensemble Scala Tympani, Carlos Oliveira’s Northeast Brazilian ensemble, Kata-vento and the newly formed forro band, Porreta. Sonia is the Marketing Director for Community Music Center, a non-profit music school and performance space based in the Mission District of San Francisco.

Eduardo Corzo is a pianist, guitarist and clarinetist from Havana, Cuba. He has composed and arranged music for Cuban and Mexican television, served as musical director of the Conjunto Nacional de Espectaculos, and toured throughout Latin America. Living in Mexico during the 90’s, he played with an incredible array of musicians including Lila Downs and Oriente Lopez to name a few. Corzo is an artist with a broad vision, interested in genres and styles different from his own, and whose background includes a mix of everything from Bach partitas to Brazilian and Afro Cuban sounds.
