The 92nd Street Y, New York presents Sérgio & Odair Assad: Final Performance of Farewell Tour

Event Details
The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY) presents Sérgio & Odair Assad on the David Geffen Stage at Kaufmann Concert Hall, 92NY, 1395 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10128, on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 7:30 PM. Tickets start at $45 and are available at https://www.92ny.org/event/sergio-and-odair-assad.
Sérgio and Odair Assad, the world-renowned guitar duo, perform their final concert together, bringing their unparalleled artistry and ensemble-playing back to the stage that helped launch them more than four decades ago.
Brazilian brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have been essential to the evolution of the art of the guitar around the world – and at The 92nd Street Y. A major prize win at the Young Artists Competition in Bratislava in 1979 began their international career, which launched in New York City with a concert on the 92NY stage in January 1980. The duo returned many times over the years, through a career that found them collaborating with artists from Yo-Yo Ma to Gidon Kremer, expanding the repertoire with new works created for them by Astor Piazzolla, Terry Riley, and many others.
This special program is centered on Brazilian and Latin American works by Piazzolla, Egberto Gismonti, Villa Lobos, Gnatalli, and more, including Sérgio's own compositions. The Assads planned their entire farewell-as-a-duo tour to end on the stage that helped introduce them. Don’t miss this extraordinary night of artistry and music-making.
