"El Sonido del Silencio" is an encounter between flamenco's past and present; where the old and the new come together in one performance to express a timeless sense of music and movement. The performance will take you back in time to experience what it was like in the 18th century "Cafés Cantantes" (gathering places where drinks and flamenco recitals were offered). We will explore voices from the past and thus comprehend how their emotive energy has inspired and affected the dance, the guitar, and the singing as we experience and live them today.
A well respected flamenco dancer, Cristina Hall, has gained high acclaim wherever she has worked including her home base of Sevilla, Spain. Her unique dance style has been described as powerful and musical. During a brainstorming session in Sevilla, El Sonido del Silencio was presented as an idea by Cristina, and began to take form as a collaborative effort during Annette’s recent visits to Spain in the winter and spring of 2008. Crucial to the deliverance (development) of this inspired work are the sounds emanating from the guitar of Manuel Alejandro Montero, an accomplished musician who has won two Sabicas competitions in Murcia, Spain; both as concert guitarist and a singing accompanist. Also from Spain, singer David de Alcala will be featured in this performance. This concert series will be accompanied by scheduled workshops in all three cities in guitar, dance and song.
