Back to Brazil

Bach to Brazil now playing, see above for details.

"Parnell wields the mallets with the nonchalance of mastery ... virtuosity worth of the highest praise." – The West Australian

Performer Nick Parnell explodes the stage with melodic percussive interpretations of classic works; Bach to Brazil is an exotic display of rhythm and colour; an unforgettable musical journey.

This award-winning percussionist is one man with 50 instruments in a high energy performance of festive Brazilian rhythms, pulsating ethnic drums, soaring Bach and Gershwin melodies.

Audience members will be entranced by tuned wine glasses, bamboo chimes, ethnic drums, woodblocks, piano and vibraphone, as they all get a serious work out.

 

"Meet the Musos" - Nick Parnell and Graeme Burgan
