SUMMARY:Cyro Baptista: Sounds of Community–Free Community Workshops!
DESCRIPTION:Calling all community musicians with diverse musical & cultural traditions and music enthusiasts!  \nHosted by Arts Transcending Borders at the College of the Holy Cross\, renowned Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista arrives at JMAC/Worcester PopUp to lead Sounds of Community workshops\, building towards a final performance at the JMAC/Brickbox with Baptista’s winsome quartet\, the Banquet of Spirits\, and community participants. As part of his week-long residency\, Cyro Baptista will lead workshops with a variety of community groups and participants\, using everyday objects as well as traditional instruments. This performance is the culmination of the residency and includes community participation. \nA veteran of stage and studio work with the likes of Paul Simon\, Herbie Hancock\, Yo-Yo Ma\, Trey Anastasio (of Phish)\, Sting\, the New York Philharmonic\, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, and many others\, Baptista is one of the most sought-after players around. His visionary approach to music-making stresses inclusion\, community and pushing past boundaries\, while remaining refreshingly fun and totally accessible. His technique of using his body\, spare parts of kitchenware\, anything that’s out of the ordinary and traditional instruments\, makes his workshops a truly unique and entertaining experience. \nFree and open to the general public.
