High-energy percussion

Ignite an enthusiasm for music with a dynamic performance from percussion quartet B’tutta (Bah-too-tah). The passion of the performers will create such a buzz, your school will be moving to the exciting rhythms and beats of the original compositions almost immediately. Influenced by percussive styles from around the world, the ensemble performs “anything with percussion in it”. More than just a concert, the educational outcomes of this energetic and vibrant performance will have a life-long influence on your students.

The name of the ensemble, B’tutta, comes from the Italian word meaning “to strike” an action, which is an essential part of being a percussionist.

Boom, Crash, Create is a Live Performance Plus performance.
