GW Lisner Auditorium presents
10th Annual Flamenco Festival: Compañía Israel Galván
La Edad de Oro

7pm - Spanish ham and cheese tasting by Jaleo

Israel Galván, a rebel and traditionalist who has been called “revolutionary” is known for his incredible footwork punctuated by moments of stillness and silence. Since appearing in 1994 in Compañía Andaluza de Danza under the direction of Mario Maya, he has won flamenco's most prestigious awards, including Spain's National Dance Prize.

His show “La Edad de Oro” (The Golden Age) strips flamenco to its bare essence, sculpting a form that is both steeped in tradition and intoxicated by the moment. Galván is joined by the renowned vocalist Fernando Terremoto, son of the legendary Terremoto, and guitarist Alfredo Lagos, with artistic direction by Pedro G. Romero.
