Jose Porcel and Ballet Flamenco
7:30 p.m. Sept. 24
Because flamenco is an expression of rhythms, colors and emotions that contains all the vitality, sunniness and passion of the Spanish people, it is a folkloric celebration, where, even when "theatre art" is being provided, irresistible erotic appeal and irrepressible energy remain intact.
Imelda May
7:30 p.m. Oct. 8
Imelda May is unmistakable both in her music (a fusion of surf guitars, blues and rockabilly that wouldn't be out of place in a David Lynch film) and her style, with a solitary curl and shock of blonde in her jet black hair. Her debut album, "Love Tattoo," has gone Triple Platinum.
Huun Huur Tu
7:30 p.m. Oct. 8 (concert is in the recital hall)
