Haven't you ever wondered about things like "When was Paco de Lucía last
in DC?" Um...well I just realized how useful it would be to have an archive
past events archive to help answers questions like that one. But since I didn't
realize this great idea until now, the archives only go back as far as June
2003. Oh well! Years from now, you'll better appreciate this archive.
Saturday February 2, 2008 8:00pm A Compás! featuring the Paco Peña Flamenco Dance Company at Montgomery College's Robert E. Parilla Performing Arts Center in Rockville
From the press release:
Considered one of the world's greatest flamenco guitarists, Paco Peña has toured the world playing in such prestigious venues as New York's Carnegie Hall, London's Royal Albert Hall and Amsterdam's Concertgebouw. During his illustrious 40-year career, he has collaborated with renowned artists including John Williams and Eliot Fisk. In 1985, he was the first to be honored as the "Professor of Flamenco Guitar" at the Rotterdam Conservatory and has held the title ever since. After his very successful and universally-acclaimed tour of Misa Flamenca, Mr. Peña returns to the Center in a new and brilliant show called A Compás! which highlights the power and the passion of music and dance from Southern Spain and features superb musicians and dancers who are a joy to watch.
