A bateria is the percussion ensemble driving the groove of the whole samba band. \nEducArte at Levine welcomes all levels\, from beginners to advanced\, semi-professionals\, and music teachers. No auditions are required. The bateria class meets for 1.5 hours a week to work on technique and repertoire and to rehearse for group performances. All students will have the opportunity to perform periodically if they choose to. \nAbout our instructors \nEducArte’s percussion director and Rio de Janeiro native André Coelho leads the bateria classes. André has played in many carnival groups\, such as Carmelitas\, Céu na Terra\, Cacique de Ramos\, Orquestra Voadora\, Prata Preta\, and Tá Pirando. \nClasses are also taught by assistant instructor and Levine faculty member Christopher Payne\, a multi-faceted drummer and percussionist who fuses ethnic hand percussion\, orchestral percussion\, and drum set to create music across a multitude of genres. \nClasses are also supported by Hugo Vásquez\, a samba percussionist from Santiago\, Chile\, who has studied and performed with various samba schools in Rio de Janeiro. He has directed the percussion sections of various samba and samba-enredo groups\, and served for nearly a decade as the director of the bateria of GRES Alegria de Barcelona (Spain). \nPlease see our online bateria demonstration videos here. \n\nRegistration\nSemester tuition ($269 for 13 classes) and drop-in classes ($25/each) are available. \nRegister now \nQuestions about payments or registration?

SUMMARY:Levine Presents | Brazilian Choro: The Musical World of Pixinguinha
DESCRIPTION:Explore the imaginative and intriguing melodies of Brazilian choro with an evening celebrating the genre’s most influential composer\, Alfredo da Rocha Viana Filho\, also known as Pixinguinha. Alongside a remarkable guest ensemble\, faculty member Ceylon Mitchell guides us through this Afro-Brazilian genre as we sample some of the most famous choros composed by Pixinguinha and his contemporaries. \nAbout Brazilian Choro\nChoro emerged as a distinct musical genre around the middle of the 19th Century in Rio de Janeiro as a blend of Afrodiasporic and European musical styles in newly independent Brazil. Syncopated rhythms from Africa and popular dance forms from Europe (the polka\, habanera\, and more) melded together to create a unique new style\, which often gives the lead and highly ornamented melody to the flute\, harmonically supported by guitar and cavaquinho. Percussive accompaniment often comes from the pandeiro\, a Brazilian frame drum similar to a tambourine. Though choros are frequently instrumental and improvisatory\, they do feature lyrics from time to time.  \nFeaturing: Ceylon Mitchell\, flute; Seth Kibel\, sax; Pablo Regis de Oliveira\, cavaquinho; Felipe Garibaldi\, guitar; Lucas Ashby\, percussion; and André Coelho\, percussion \nLevine Music gratefully acknowledges the support of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and all our generous donors.
