Brazilian Percussion and Culture Tour - August
of 2009.
Professor Frank Oddis, Morehead State University
and Professor Jason Koontz, Eastern Kentucky
University are conducting a Brazilian Percussion
and Culture Tour in August of 2009. The 14-day
tour will visit three cities in Brazil, Salvador
de Bahia, the African Capital of Brazil,
beautiful Rio de Janeiro, and the metropolis of
Sao Paulo, to study many different genres of
traditional Brazilian music. Two tracks of study
will be offered; Brazilian Percussion and
Brazilian Percussion with Drumset emphasis. The
instructors are all leading professionals and
virtuosos on their respective instruments and
classes and workshops will be offered in all
three cities.
Participants will attend Brazilian music
concerts, cultural shows, religious ceremonies,
visit important cultural landmarks and travel to
a tropical island combining to make this tour a
unique cultural experience. Additionally, a
guided tour of the Contemporanea percussion
instrument factory in Sao Paulo will give
participants an opportunity to see Brazilian
instrument manufacturing on a large scale, and
handpick personal instruments for purchase at
special prices.
We will stay in very nice accommodations (3 and
4 stars) and have included several meals, in
addition to daily Brazilian breakfast in all of
the hotels and Posada. The food in Brazil is
truly great!
We encourage you to contact us with questions
and ask that you help us publicize this tour by
printing and posting the attached poster and
forwarding this email to your lists
of friends and colleagues who might be
interested in getting a taste of Brazil. We
will respond promptly with a detailed itinerary
and brochure including all information necessary
to enroll.
