Concert Information
Experience the drama, passion, and excitement of the music and poetry by three of Spain’s best-known creative geniuses: the great poet/composer Federico García-Lorca, and composers Manuel de Falla, and Joaquín Rodrigo. Inspired by the folk traditions, Moorish influences, and gypsy legend, the three composers brought it all to life in their iconic poetry and music. From the delicate light songs by Rodrigo, through Lorca’s intense poetry and mysterious musical settings, to the beauty and flamenco fire captured by de Falla, you will enjoy music and drink representing one of the world’s most interesting regions.
