FLAMENCO VIVO PROGRAMS

New program helps nurture flamenco artists at all levels.

Are you a flamenco artist? We’re excited to announce the unification of three of our popular programs under one roof (or, in this case, hive). Our Artist Development series supports rising artists with the tools necessary to prepare for a professional flamenco practice. The Flamenco Certamen showcases artists in performance and offers the opportunity for advanced study with our partners in Spain. Flamenco Consorcio provides professional artists next-level development opportunities in arts management, network building, and more.

Carmen Linares is a very important singer in flamenco. She released an album in 1996 called Antología: La Mujer en el Cante that is a tribute to all the great female singers. It’s filled with flamenco classics and would appeal to aficionados and flamencos alike.
