Experience the raw energy, deep emotion, and electrifying spirit of flamenco up close—just as it was meant to be. Olé!
Hudson Valley Flamenco Festival presents the Peña Project—an intimate gathering that brings the essence of Spain’s traditional Peñas to you. In Spain, Peñas have long been a refuge for flamenco’s most devoted artists and fans, a place where the art form thrives outside of commercial settings. Poet Federico García Lorca championed them as a way to preserve flamenco’s raw authenticity in the face of political repression. Our mission is simple: to bring the people’s flamenco to the people.
WHEN: Saturday, March 8th 7-8:30pm
WHERE: Full Circle Studio at 297 Bruynswick Rd. Gardiner, NY 12525
HOW: Suggested donation: Child - $10; Adult - $20/$30. You may also make a donation at the door with a credit card or exact cash amount.
