FESTIVAL OF FLAMENCO ARTS AND TRADITIONS
February/March 2009
In
the first quarter of 2009, The Bay Area Flamenco Partnership will launch the
Festival of Flamenco Arts and Traditions. The Festival will encompass
several events including a performance by a multigenerational group of
visiting artists featuring both youth and elders of the Andalusian Gypsy flamenco
community from Spain,
a gala showcase performance highlighting the rich diversity of the
local Bay Area flamenco music and dance community, and a tribute to the
veterans of Bay Area flamenco community of the 1950s and 60s. The
Festival will also feature film screenings and workshops with visiting master dancers and musicians.
Originally scheduled for the Fall of 2008, the Festival has been postponed for February/March of 2009 in order to accommodate artists' touring schedules and theater availability. Details coming soon.
This project has been made possible in part by a grant from the
Alliance for California Traditional Arts in partnership with the Walter and Elise Haas Fund, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the James Irvine Foundation.
