One concert remaining from the current series....

You won’t find acoustic flamenco more innovative, entertaining or inspiring.  The ensemble, showcasing the fantastic artistry of flamenco, is a magical collaboration commanded by the guitar wizardry of Chris Burton Jácome and enhances by a vocalist, three flamenco dancers, a bassist  and percussionist.  Each show is a powerful interaction, unique and captivating.  Flamenco is choreographed energy, and as the ensemble’s haunting songs and beautiful melodies combine with the awesome movement and rhythm of dance, the art of flamenco explodes onstage.  Audience shouts “Oléand “Toma!” become part of the experience, part of the passion of flamenco.

 

The 2012-2013 Concert Series


Yes, believe it!  A professional level choir that sings only one concert program a year.  The "annual choir,” is the real thing.  It’s made up of 25 of the best singers and choral directors in the northwest.  Imagine a rehearsal room full of people who are at the top of their game vocally and who also know exactly what it takes to make a choir sound good.  While their ‘day jobs” limit hitting the concert tour trail, their expertise guarantees you’d be thrilled by their performance, enriched by their in-depth musicality, and entertained by the breadth of their programming.

Former New York City police officer, Daniel Rodriguez  has experienced a meteoric rise to fame.  He was one of this department’s anthem singers on September 11, 2001, when fate intervened – he rendered an a capella performance of “God Bless America” and the National Anthem that proved far greater than a patriotic gesture.  Ringing, heartfelt and beautiful, his performance stirred the hearts of the entire nation. Accompanied by piano and bass, Daniel will be joined by his talented wife, soprano Marla Kavanaugh, who won praise from San Francisco critics as “the voice of a sorrowing angel” for her poignant portrayal in The Prince and the Pauper.  Learn more ......
