Our beloved holiday tradition returns! This Christmas, The Newberry Consort teams up with Hispanic arts company Arte Puro to present a new program of flamenco and Latin American holiday music and dance.

Co-curated by Arte Puro director/percussionist Jesús Pacheco and Newberry Consort artistic director Liza Malamut, this concert features musical traditions from the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America.

Among other sights and sounds, audiences will experience music from the “Zambomba” tradition in Jerez, where neighbors gather around a fire to sing Christmas villancicos to the rhythms of flamenco. With mezzo-soprano soloist Cecilia Duarte, flamenco dancer Ana María Barceló, and more Newberry Consort fan favorites, this concert promises to be a feast for the eyes and ears.
