The world’s preeminent guitar duo, Brazilian-born brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad celebrate 60 years of setting the standard for innovation, ingenuity, and expression with the classical guitar.

Their near telepathic ensemble playing and deep musicality led to celebrated performances with artists like Yo-Yo Ma, Dave Brubeck, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, James Taylor, Dawn Upshaw, and others. Their programs embrace a myriad of musical styles, periods, and cultures including folk, jazz, Latin, and transcriptions of the greatest works from the Baroque music canon by Bach, Rameau, and Scarlatti. Winners of Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY awards, the Guitar Foundation of America awarded these brothers with its Lifetime Achievement Award.

Levine Museum of the New South is proud to host a live recording of their award-winning Our New South podcast featuring Doug Jones, former U.S. Senator from Alabama.

From the courtroom to the Capitol, Jones has spent his career standing up for justice and bridging divides. As the federal prosecutor who brought long-overdue accountability to the Ku Klux Klan members responsible for the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, and later as a senator representing Alabama, Jones has remained guided by integrity, empathy, and a deep belief in doing what’s right.

Hosted by journalist Kevin Blackistone and historian Dr. Robert Greene II, Our New South sparks conversations about the people, places, and ideas shaping the region today. In this special live episode, Jones will reflect on his journey and share what the New South means to him and the future he envisions for the region.
