The Beaufort Historic Site regrets that the original trio, Novos Caminhos, is unable to make the April 10 performance date due to USCIS visa delays for two of its members. The trio’s leader, Ian Coury, can travel to the US and has called upon previous collaborators in the states to regroup for this special concert event.
