In this vibrant musical journey from 16th-century Spain to baroque Latin America, music of Spanish composers Diego Ortiz, Gaspar Sanz, and Santiago de Murcia blends virtuosity with lively dance rhythms. Sephardic ballads from the Jewish Quarter of Seville celebrate love and life. Crossing the Atlantic, we encounter a joyful mix of Hispanic and Caribbean influences. Internationally-acclaimed Puerto Rican soprano Sophia Burgos joins friends on strings, harp, guitars, and percussion.
Chicago’s Flamenco Quartet Project will be performing at Space in Evanston on Monday, March 9. We are very pleased to welcome the members of the group to the show. My guests are (pictured, left) dancer WENDY CLINARD, (center, top) violinist STEVE GIBONS, (center, below) vocalist/guitarist MARIJA TEMO, and (right) percussionist JOSE MORENO.
