What’s Special About This Concert:

• We open with Chabrier’s España, a lively orchestral showpiece bursting with the spirit of Spanish dance rhythms — all inspired by the composer’s own travels through Spain.

• Guitarist Larry Hammett brings Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un Gentilhombre to life — a piece written for the legendary Andrés Segovia that blends elegant Spanish court music with Rodrigo’s lush, modern sound.

• Internationally renowned guitarist Oscar Herrero takes center stage in Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, one of the most famous guitar concertos ever written. Its haunting second movement has become a symbol of beauty, longing, and Spanish pride.
