Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda is a 10-piece brass band that plays the high energy
rhythms of their Brazilian state of Pernambuco mixed with Afro-Beat and Latin grooves.
Their performance and workshops will mark the close of the year-long centennial celebration
of Newcomb Department of Music, and highlight the study of Latin American music and
culture at Tulane University. A reception will follow their performance.
All events are free and open to the public.
The performance and music workshops are presented by Tulane University's Newcomb Department
of Music, Stone Center for Latin American Studies and the Deep South Regional Humanities
Center, and the music department's Maynard Klein award. For more information on the
events, please contact Daniel Sharp at Newcomb Department of Music at 504-865-5273 or
Denise Woltering at the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at 504-865-5164.
