With just over 3,000 inhabitants, the city is known for maintaining the tradition of being a municipality with a lot of love and talent dedicated to music since the 18th century.
The São Brás do Suaçuí School of Music proves this musical legacy.

The courses are free and students must only have a good income, as well as be assiduous and responsible at school. In addition to the musical tradition, the city conserves a beautiful baroque-style architecture.
