Reencuentros — Spanish Guitar
Presented by Agecy Music. For questions about this event, please contact orders@andreagonzalezcaballero.com.
Classical guitar enthusiasts and music lovers are in for a treat as the internationally acclaimed guitarist Andrea González Caballero brings her Spanish repertoire to Seattle.
After the sensational launch of her album Reencuentros in New York City and a triumphant tour across the United States Europe and Australia, Caballero is set to perform at Town Hall Seattle.
THE PROGRAM
Andrea kicks off the evening with R. Sainz de la Maza’s vibrant “Rondeña,” igniting the stage with passion. This fervor naturally transitions into the evocative melodies of Isaac Albéniz. Each piece, from the haunting “Granada” to the lively beats of “Sevilla,” paints a vivid picture, drawing you into the heart of Spain.
As the atmosphere thickens, the haunting beauty of Francisco Tárrega’s “Recuerdos de la Alhambra” emerges, demonstrating Andrea’s refined touch and mastery. It’s a performance that resonates, echoing the grandeur of the Alhambra Palace.
The evening then takes a soulful turn with López-Quiroga’s romantic compositions, arranged meticulously by Trepat. These are stories of love and longing, told with a depth that only the guitar can convey.
And just when you think the crescendo is reached, M. De Falla enters the scene. His Pantomima is a revelation, and the Danza del Molinero and Danza Española ‘La vida breve’ are nothing short of show-stoppers — pieces that not only display skill but also capture the soul.
This is more than a concert; it’s a heartfelt gathering of memories and melodies, old and new. Join Andrea in this poignant musical reunion, and let the strings of her guitar reconnect you with the soul of Spanish music. You won’t just hear the music; you’ll feel it.
