This special performance features highly acclaimed flamenco dancer Neli Tirado. Tickets are $20 general admission, $15 students $10 children under 12.

A versatile virtuoso guitarist/composer/improviser, Juanito Pascual has been called “one of the hottest flamenco guitarists in recent years” by National Public Radio, a major accolade that is just the jumping off point for the Minneapolis native’s masterful musical style. His sound is an organic blend of traditional and contemporary flamenco with influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead to Miles Davis and J.S. Bach.
The Juanito Pascual Trio features two highly versatile and dynamic musicians, New York-based percussionist Guillermo Barrón and stunning bassist Brad Barrett. By combining their distinct musical backgrounds with a powerful personal chemistry, the Trio has created a fresh, exhilarating and constantly evolving sound, performing to enthralled audiences throughout the U.S. and abroad. The 2014 release “Juanito Pascual New Flamenco Trio” was included in NPR critic Milo Miles’ Best World Music Albums for that year.
Pascual’s international touring schedule has brought him to venues that include the Tanglewood Jazz Festival, New York’s Lincoln Center and Blue Note Jazz Club, and Madrid’s renowned Casa Patas. He has performed with a lengthy ‘who’s who’ of top flamenco artists including Jorge Pardo in addition to collaborations with a diverse range of musicians: Grammy-winning soprano Dawn Upshaw; bassist John Patitucci; pianist Danilo Perez; percussionist Jamey Haddad; virtuoso guitarist Grisha Goryachev.
