Echos of Andalusia performed by Adam del Monte
Friday, December 12, 7:30 PM
In Echoes of Andalusia, Adam del Monte stands at the forefront of contemporary flamenco and classical guitar. His music draws on centuries of tradition while speaking in a distinctly modern language — rhythmically driven, harmonically rich, and unafraid of contrast.
In this solo recital, del Monte performs works by Albéniz alongside his own compositions, tracing a path from Andalusian song forms to new works that expand the expressive range of the guitar.
Each piece reveals his deep understanding of both styles — their shared roots, their tension, and their potential to evolve.
A program that moves between written score and improvisation, classical clarity and flamenco pulse — a living dialogue between two traditions.
Echoes of Andalusia presents one of today’s leading flamenco and classical guitarists in a program where tradition and innovation meet on equal terms.
