O grupo do Brooklin: semente da percussão contemporânea no Brasil

This dissertation proposes to disclose the production and the “fruits” generated in Brasil by the Percussion Ensemble of the Conservatório Musical Brooklin Paulista. This group was an important vehicle in Brazil for the emergence of new groups, new schools, new works and the making of percussion instruments. It contains semi-structured interviews with almost every member of the group, and conductors, composers and teachers who were connected with percussion practiced in Brasil in the 1960s and 1970s.
