Stephen & Katerina  as Mojácar Flamenco inspired us with a spicy performance of music inspired by their time spent  in España.  Stephen's classical Spanish guitar was right on and so listenable, while Katerina entertained with a memorable sampling of traditional flamenco dance with its intricate foot and handwork.  "Beautiful, Graceful, Creative, Exciting, Innovative, Pure fun." These words express all of the feelings our concert performers Stephen Dick and his wife left us with.  A great feeling of a wonderful performance and pure gold entertainment.  Wish you all could have been there.

House Concert:  Mojácar Flamenco with Stephen Dick

Mojácar is an ancient village overlooking the Mediterranean Sea on the coast of southern Spain.  While there at an artists retreat, Stephen was asked to perform a concert of his original contemporary flamenco music.  Inspired by flamenco innovators, influenced by great Brazilian artists, and shaped by the possibilities of the guitar itself, his music is a very personal statement.

Stephen is part of a flamenco trio based in Los Angeles, CA, where they teach and perform.  The group, comprised of Stephen on guitar, Katerina Tomás with voice, footwork and palmas, and Fernando Diez on percussion and palmas, has performed across the United States, Canada and Europe. 

As an award-winning guitar soloist, Stephen brings us the results of music study in Spain, the birthplace of flamenco, tempered by his travels to listen and play with artists who are taking the classic sound of Spanish guitar to today’s audiences. 

As he says, this music is al que quiere — for whoever wants it.  We do, and we are sure this will be a memorable evening of flamenco heat, jazz cool and Latin spice.

 7:30pm at Brookhaven Lodge.
