Bolero!
R&H Segerstrom Concert Hall
Irvine, CA
Guest conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto takes us on a trip to
the Iberian Peninsula, beginning with Albéniz' guided tour,
followed by Ravel's gypsy-inspired rhapsody and Sarasate's
virtuosic Fantasy on Bizet's "Carmen" — featuring two-time
Grammy nominee Philippe Quint. The dancers of Caminos
Flamencos take center stage for De Falla's charming ballet
about a magistrate who falls in love with a married woman,
followed by the most famous 11 minutes in classical music,
Ravel's mesmerizing "Bolero."

Caminos Flamencos presents
Lo Clasico
The Cowell Theater at Fort Mason, SF
"What is classic?" The 2010 Season Premiere, "Lo Clasico,"
is a holiday concert for the entire family that pays tribute to
all things classical - Spanish classical dances set to Ravel,
Manuel de Falla, as well as the more traditional, fiery flamenco
 that the Company is recognized for. Caminos Flamencos sets
 the standard in flamenco dance concerts for the highest
quality and artistic innovation found anywhere. Emmy
 Award-winning choreographer Yaelisa unites 22 dancers and
 musicians onstage for an exploration into what makes something
 classical. La Danza del Fuego, a jazz standard, a Jerez-style
 Bulerias, or her signature solo, Soleares, considered the
 mother of all flamenco, defines the genre. Guests artists
 from Spain Oscar Valero, singer/dancer, Jesus Montoya
 and Felix de Lola join Musical Director Jason McGuire
 "El Rubio," and soloists Melissa Cruz, Fanny Ara and Marina Elana.
