Salem Symphonic Winds presents "A Taste of Spain"

SALEM, Ore. - Jan. 11, 2019 - Rezul -- Join the women of Al Andalus and Salem Symphonic Winds for
"A Taste of Spain,"
in a uniquely Spanish program on Sunday, January 27 at 3 p.m.
at the Elsinore Theatre in Salem, Oregon.

Musical selections will encompass Spanish popular music, ballet, opera, zarzuelas, and flamenco. The program will take audience members from the fire of Spanish dance to the mysterious and beautiful melodies of Spain's rich heritage.

Flamenco includes singing, guitar playing, dance, and handclapping. It was developed through the rich cross-cultural interchange that occurred in southern Spain. Vocalist Emily Miles, dancers Laura Dubroca and Veronica Medina Cano join with flamenco guitarist Julia Banzi and the Salem Symphonic Winds in a dynamic musical celebration of Spanish cultures.

The featured work is Duende, by Luis Serrano Alarcon. The multi-movement work explores the state of inspiration and supreme perceptiveness, almost magic, which is achieved in flamenco by the performer on rare occasions. The work will feature Casey Younger in a dramatic bass guitar solo, and flamenco dancing by Veronica Medina Cano and Laura Dubroca.
