It’s Summer, and Mambista relocates to BPCG from The Portico in West Norwood so, of course, it’s time to welcome back the ever-wonderful Alvorada. If you haven’t experienced them before, they are perfect for the ambiance and natural beauty provided by BPCG’s Plum Tree “stage”; and they have a new album ready for release in October following up their gorgeous debut, First Flight.
Based in London, Alvorada are the UK’s leading performers of choro, a rich and uplifting style of instrumental music from Rio de Janeiro. Alvorada explore influences from all over Brazil, with a swing and vibrancy that nourishes the soul.

We put on our Gigs at the Greenhouses to let people hear brilliant music, enjoy our lovely gardens and to raise money so that the community can benefit from BPCG seven days a week.
Getting to us
BPCG is in the middle of Brockwell Park, between the tennis courts and the walled gardens. Follow the signs.
If you are driving to the gig, we recommend parking your car on Dulwich Road or near Dulwich Road.
Entrance and exit from the Park should be via the Park’s Lido Gates on Dulwich Road.
The park will be dark when you leave the gig so everyone must leave in groups with torches.
