The Department of Music and Dance at Swarthmore College and the William J. Cooper Foundation will present SOLEDAD BARRIO AND NOCHE FLAMENCA on Friday, October 29^th, 2010 at 8PM in the Lang Performing Arts Center’s Pearson-Hall Theater.  The event will be free and open to the public without reservations.

Founded in 1997 by Martin Santangelo and his wife, Soledad Barrio, the award-winning SOLEDAD BARRIO AND NOCHE FLAMENCA is Spain’s most successful and authentic flamenco touring company.  Performances feature Soledad Barrio, who has received awards for her riveting performances in over twelve countries including the prestigious Bessie Award from New York City.  Soledad Barrio was born and lives in Madrid, Spain and has appeared with many notable flamenco companies throughout her career including Ballet Espanol de Paco Romero, Cristobal Reyes, and El Toleo.  She has performed throughout the world with artists such as Alenjandro Granados, Isabel Bayón, Jesus Torres, Rafael Campallo, Belen Maya and numerous others.

All aspects of flamenco: dance, song, and music, are integrated and given equal weight in the presentations of SOLEDAD BARRIO AND NOCHE FLAMENCA, creating a true communal spirit within the company that reflects the very heart and soul of flamenco. Flamenco’s cultural heritage includes the music and rhythms of the ancient Romans and the folk music of the Gypsies, Jews and Arabs who fled expulsion into Andalucia, Spain during the tumultuous Middle Ages.  Flamenco, as we know it today, evolved slowly over time until the 19^th century, when it rapidly gained in artistic stature as well as popularity. Under the artistic direction of Martin Santangelo and Soledad Barrio, NOCHE FLAMENCA draws on the rich traditions of flamenco music and dance, offering audiences the unique opportunity to feel the emotional impact of this ancient art.  SOLEDAD BARRIO AND NOCHE FLAMENCA is recognized as one of the most exciting flamenco companies in the field today. The company brings to the stage the essence, purity, and integrity of one of the world’s most complex and mysterious art forms.

SOLEDAD BARRIO AND NOCHE FLAMENCA will hold a Lecture/Demonstration in the LPAC Pearson-Hall Theater (Mainstage) on Thursday October 28^th at 10AM.  Please contact Susan Grossi (sgrossi1@swarthmore.edu), Administrative Assistant for Music and Dance in LPAC 004 or at x2019 for more information.

SOLEDAD BARRIO AND NOCHE FLAMENCA will also host a Master Class in the LPAC Boyer Dance Studio (LPAC 003) on Thursday October 28^th at 4:30PM.
