An Internationally
Acclaimed
Duo
Classic and contemporary, popular and erudite, from Brazil and the World, as experimental as it is tender.
Partners for over 15 years, Lívia Nestrovski and Fred Ferreira have released the album DUO (2013) and performed in 20 countries during their frequent tours — including theaters and festivals across five continents.
In 2017, they performed at the Damascus Opera House in a concert promoted by the Brazilian Embassy, becoming the first Brazilian musicians to step on Syrian land since the beginning of the conflicts. In 2023, they won 1st place at the Gwangju Busking World Cup in Korea.
They have created and premiered new music with Oniros Ensemble (Portugal) and Quasar Dance Company (Brazil), expanding their artistic reach into contemporary chamber music and original soundtracks.
Voice and guitar, synthesizers and soundscapes, in subtle, profound, and elegant experimentation.
From hundreds of encounters between artist and audience around the Globe, Lívia & Fred crafted a repertoire of life and songs that they carry in their baggage. Fascinated by the unveiling of new places and people, they have traversed the world and in return have been traversed by it, constructing a musical narrative that reflects the diversity of human experience.
A threshold of musical genres, which boldly dives into the diversity of Latin American song — sewing colorful interactions between voice and guitar.
Through Lívia's virtuosic yet dramatic vocals, combined with Fred's extremely original use of the electric guitar, synthesizers, and soundscapes, they blend sophisticated harmonies, bold timbres and captivating melodies.
Lívia
Nestrovski
Singer of "freshness and youthful warmth combined in a very agile voice," who "performs triple-twists in her voice without losing her natural intonation."
Holding a Bachelor's degree in Popular Singing from UNICAMP and a Master's degree in Musicology from Uni-Rio, with 5 released albums, she is considered "one of the greatest achievements of contemporary Brazilian song."
As a soloist, she has been at the forefront of numerous orchestras and chamber groups in Brazil and abroad. In 2022, she premiered "Cantos de Trabalho" at UNESCO in Paris with the Portuguese Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2025, she recorded this piece with the Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra with the support of the Gulbenkian Foundation.
Collaborations include Guinga, Arrigo Barnabé, Zé Miguel Wisnik, Tom Zé, and Luiz Tatit.
"Impressively precise without losing tenderness."
Fred
Ferreira
"Absolute master of his instruments, skillful and creative with the electric guitar and no less visceral and profound on the Venezuelan bandola."
Multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and composer, with a Bachelor's degree in Composition and Orchestral Viola from UNICAMP.
Ferreira composed the soundtrack for the three seasons of the podcast "Vinte Mil Léguas" (2020–2022), supported by Serrapilheira Institute. He also composed the soundtrack for the documentary "Sinfonia da Sobrevivência," winner of Best Documentary at the 48th São Paulo International Film Festival.
In 2024, he had new pieces commissioned by Ensemble Oniros (Portugal). He has collaborated as arranger, composer, and performer with the Brasil Jazz Symphony Orchestra and hundreds of projects, both in classical and popular music.
\"The synthesizer reminded us that despite all the lyricism, we were under a storm of electrical discharges."
By far one of the greatest voices of her generation.
