Flamenco at Philharmonie Berlin

About the Event

Flamenco Vivo can be translated as “living” flamenco or flamenco “live”. Originating in the south of Spain, the art of flamenco has conquered almost the entire world over the last few decades. Flamenco Vivo is an international ensemble of five top‐class artists from five nations and three continents. The focus is on spirited, expressive dance. Virtuoso guitar playing and passionate singing merge with it on stage to form an impressive unity. Flamenco is a living art that is constantly evolving. String instruments, for example, have become a frequent and popular addition to flamenco music. Flamenco Vivo touches the audience through the sensitive interplay of baile (dance), toque (guitar) and cante (singing), into which the viola constantly conjures up new timbres. The ensemble consists of: Cayetana de Ronda (dance) and the singer Carmen Celada, who also guides the audience through the evening with short stories about the art of flamenco, Azusa Krist (viola) and the flamenco guitarist Georg Kempa.
