The Berkshire Bateria Escola de Samba
Parade Concert In Boston
Open Letter from the Director
I'd like to introduce our unique
performance group: The Berkshire Bateria Escola De Samba.
Our current roster of thirty talented performers include drummers,
dancers, singers and melodic instrumentalists. The group performs
a wide variety of music from Brazil, including hot samba rhythms and
cool bossa nova jazz.
Because our show (and fee schedule) can be tailored to fit any
venue, our touring program has brought us to stages at city parks,
universities, corporate and charity events, arts festivals, nightclubs,
theatres and parades!
It is precisely because of our varied repertoire that we provide
universal appeal! Children, teens, adults and seniors all enjoy
aspects of our show.
In addition to the material supplied in the information package, a
short video is available with out-takes from several live performances.
Please call any time to discuss how we may fit into your
entertainment needs.
Sincerely,
Jim Weber
Director B.B.E.S.
