Bavarian Brass Band of Green Valley
It’s always Oktoberfest time when the Bavarian Brass Band plays happy tunes and makes you want to dance and celebrate. Groundhog Day has come and gone; St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, but now is the time to enjoy polkas and waltzes, both old and new. We will be featuring the artistic multilingual talents of Tamara Kahrimanis to give life and authenticity to the words and music. The instrumental presentation just might make you think that you’re listening from the streets of Vienna, Hamburg, Oslo, or Prague.
