The Springfield Symphony Orchestra will wrap up its season of dance music with a festive evening of Flamenco music on May 7. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts.
The Symphony will be joined by the Flamenco group Ensemble Iberica, from Kansas City. Hear the rhythms and melodies of Spain as the orchestra is joined by guitar, percussion and vocals.
“I am really excited to finish out our season with a concert of Flamenco music,” said Kyle Wiley Pickett, music director and conductor for SSO. “I’m also really thrilled to be working with Ensemble Iberica. Flamenco is such a beautiful style — the dancing, the guitars, the rhythms and the folk-style singing are so evocative of the people and history of Spain. Our Flamenco performers will be featured both on their own and with the full orchestra backing them up. This is a concert I have been looking forward to all year long.”
