Sorenson Center for the Arts

Registration is required. Masks are optional for fully vaccinated individuals. This event is open to the public. Visitors must be fully vaccinated and proof must be uploaded to CrowdPass prior to arrival.

The music of Cocek! Brass Band is influenced by Eastern-European and New Orleans dance songs, Afrobeat, Klezmer, and elements of reggae and Western classical pieces. Bandleader Sam Dechenne started the ensemble in the winter of 2014 and composes all the music for the band. Cocek! has performed in spaces ranging from hollowed out warehouses in Boston to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., WorldFest in Louisville, KY, and the NY Gypsy Music Festival. Join us for a Mardi Gras themed post-show celebration that you won’t want to miss!

As part of this residency Cocek! Brass Band will be holding a music clinic open to Babson, Olin, and Wellesley students, staff, and faculty the night before the concert. Musicians interested in performing at the concert with Cocek! Brass Band will have the opportunity to attend the open rehearsal after the clinic and join a couple of numbers at the concert. Details will be available at the beginning of the spring semester. For more information email babsonarts@babson.edu.
