October 15 Benise: The Spanish Guitar
Benise, hailed as “The Prince of Spanish Guitar,” returns with his Emmy Award-winning cast in a theatrical world music and dance spectacle that has been called The Latin Riverdance. Witness the musical virtuosity of Benise, as he takes us on an unprecedented and epic adventure through Spanish Flamenco, Cuban Salsa, Argentine Tango, Indian Bollywood, Waltz, and exotic drumming! The Spanish Guitar becomes a treasure chest of inspiration, brilliantly choreographed dance numbers and orchestral pieces accompanying stories that were sealed inside this magical instrument. A former street musician, Benise began his career composing original works with powerfully emotional arrangements that are both wild and refined, producing a sound that is as edgy and exotic as it is romantic and sensual.
