GALERIA CONCERTS @ Galeria West presents The YAS-CORTES DUO

The new Galeria Concerts events bring an opportunity for area arts patrons to enjoy a variety of music genres in a comfortable and convenient arts venue. The series is presented by the Galeria West art gallery, located at 111 Quimby Street in downtown Westfield, NJ. The evening is recommended as an opportunity to enjoy a stimulating art exhibit plus a unique music concert experience and perhaps a wonderful dining experience of choice before or after the event at one of several restaurants and cafes in the downtown Westfield business district. The Galeria Concerts event on Saturday, June 18, 2011 begins at 6pm with a display of selected art work by local and international artists and continues at 7pm with the sounds of classic Spanish guitars at this wonderfully intimate venue with a performance by the acclaimed Yas-Cortes Duo.
The Yas-Cortes Duo is comprised of Maria Cortes and Oscar Yas. The husband and wife team were born in Argentina where they have won several prestigious music and vocal contests. The duo's extensive repertoire includes Latin American Music and the popular Tango as well as Boleros and the Flamenco. Founders and members of various vocal ensembles, they have performed in the great concert halls throughout North and South America and Europe. They have performed recently at Carnegie Hall, St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC and Giants Stadium.
