Hailed as one of the finest flamenco guitarists in the world, Paco Peña is joined by the Stanford Chamber Chorale under the direction of Stanford Associate Professor of Music Stephen M. Sano in a revelatory performance of Peña's mesmerizing and powerfully emotional Requiem Flamenco, In Praise of the Earth.
With stunning agility, Peña creates a dynamic interplay among instrumental music, the bold, pure tones of flamenco singing, and the more nuanced tones of choral singing. The result is an explosive and soulful performance full of inventiveness and authenticity.
