Flamenco festival comes to the islands

On June 8, the show is coming to the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, 7:30 p.m.

Born in Seattle to parents of Puerto Rican and Irish ancestry, Savannah Fuentes has been sharing her love for the art of Flamenco with northwest audiences for the past seven years.

She has presented over 80 performances, workshops, and school programs featuring internationally recognized Flamenco artists in Washington and Oregon.

A festival provides communities with an opportunity to experience live authentic Flamenco as well as a chance to take introductory level classes with the featured artists. Fuentes will be joined by third generation Gypsy guitarist Pedro Cortes and Valencia-native, singer/dancer/percussionist, Oscar Valero. They will perform three shows on different islands and give one day of intensive workshops on San Juan Island.

On June 8, the show is coming to the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, 7:30 p.m.

Tickets  are $18, or $8 for youth, and are available at www.brownpapapertickets.com and Lopez Bookshop.
