Olga Pericet - Calgary International Flamenco Festival
The third annual Calgary International Flamenco Festival reignites this September with Flamenco star, dancer Olga Pericet.
A week-long celebration of flamenco music, dance, passionate expression and innovative performances this is the flamenco event of the year. Bringing together top Spanish artists with Canadian performers, the festival features workshops and concert events including the breathtaking dancer from Madrid, Olga Pericet on September 27th 8 pm, at the Webber Academy Performing Arts Centre.
The 2013 festival features many Canadian dancers and musicians as well as many guest artists from Spain. On September 27th, Olga Pericet, a virtuosic, magnetic and versatile award-winning dancer, currently of great fame worldwide, is joined by guitarist Antonia Jimenez and singer Miguel Ortega. Unique and talented, Antonia is one of the few recognized professional female guitarists of International caliber, in a genre largely dominated by male guitarists. As the opening act, the Calgary International Flamenco Festival is also proud to present the first featured National artist from outside of Alberta, "La Azulita," an outstanding dancer from Nova Scotia who will be performing for the first time in Calgary.
