After successful performances of “Falla & Flamenco” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2015 and 2019, Siudy Garrido Flamenco Company returns to California with multiple dates this June to perform their enthralling ‘Flamenco Intimo.’ Dates include June 3 at Los Angeles’ Wilshire Ebell Theatre, June 4 at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara, and June 5 at Blue Shield of California Theater at YBCA in San Francisco.
Known for her collaborations with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, as well as Flamenco stars Farruquito and Antonio Canales, award-winning dancer and creative innovator Siudy Garrido delivers her latest masterpiece in the form of Flamenco Intimo, her contemporary vision of Flamenco dance.
Offering majestic and vivid performances made even more spectacular with stunning costumes, the flamenco suite showcases brilliant original music by award-winning guitarist Jose Luis de la Paz in addition to compelling choreography and flamenco solos by the company and Siudy Garrido herself. A total of 11 artists will take the stage during each of these three sensational nights, including renowned award-winning composer Juan Parilla on flute and Adolfo Herrera on percussion, along with vocalists Manuel Gago, David El Galli and Ismael Fernandez.
All those in attendance are sure to find themselves wholly captivated by Flamenco Intimo as the Siudy Garrido Flamenco Company presents extraordinary, emotion-fueled interpretations of song and dance while exploring a colorful range of traditional flamenco styles, such as Guajiras, Seguirillas, Alegrias, and Solea.
Saturday, June 5 at 5 p.m., at Blue Shield of California Theater at YBCA San Francisco.
The Library Is What’s Missing from Your Summer Plans
San Francisco Public Library’s Summer Stride program is back with in-person and virtual events, reading challenge for all ages
SAN FRANCISCO – Come read, San Francisco! Summer Stride, San Francisco Public Library’s premier summer reading, learning and exploration program, launches on June 1. This year, the Main Library and 27 branches are thrilled to be back, offering free in-person and virtual programs featuring authors, crafts for adults and kids, movement and mindfulness programs and much, much more.
“I invite every San Franciscan to step into your neighborhood library this summer and discover what we have for you. Summer Stride offers the opportunity for students to engage in fun and enriching learning activities while school is out, and for adults to pick up their next great summer read and connect with the City’s literary community through a wide array of events. And, of course, we encourage everyone to develop a lifetime reading habit and love of books,” said City Librarian Michael Lambert.
Children’s programs include appearances by local favorite Boswick the Clown and Little Explorers petting zoos. For kids who love building and hands-on interaction, Library locations are hosting make-your-own chia pets, lip balm, catapults, zines and other fun projects. Check your local library’s schedule for details. In addition, every San Francisco Unified School District student may select a free book to keep for their home library—they just need to stop by any SFPL location this summer.
Summer Stride adults can look forward to film screenings, author and art programs. An urban sketching program, reading by Filipino-Latino Bay Area poets and classical guitar performance are just some events on the June calendar. A panel of writers from Black Fire—This Time, moderated by author Kim McMillon, and photographer, educator and activist Subhankar Banerjee speaking on art and social transformation are a sneak peek of what’s to come in July.
At San Francisco Public Library, 100 Larkin St., San Francisco.
