Ricardo Volkert & Ensemble: Amor! Amor! Amor!
Join us for an enchanting evening dedicated to the theme of love, featuring the vibrant sounds of flamenco, rumba, and romantic ballads. Ricardo Volkert & Ensemble will present 'Amor! Amor! Amor!', a celebration of love through passionate guitar melodies, virtuosic cello and bandoneon performances, heartfelt singing, and fiery dancing.
Experience a rich tapestry of romantic, humorous, exciting, erotic, cheeky, sweet-melancholic, and zestful songs from Spain and Latin America. The program includes a range of musical expressions of love found in rumbas, folk songs, romances, ballads, and of course, flamenco, including Guajiras, Colombianas, Sevillanas, and Tangos. From the joys and sorrows of love to lost illusions, fulfilled hopes, missed opportunities, and deep-seated desires and dreams, this concert promises to be a grand cinematic experience filled with elements from the world of love.
Delve into the passionate works of Federico Garcia Lorca's 'Sonnets of Dark Love', the verses of Pablo Neruda, and captivating medieval Spanish-Sephardic romances. The evening will blend traditional flamenco music with striking, simple yet profound verses.
