February 20, 2011 By admin

The Vail Theatre of the Arts is proud to present the Chris Burton Jácome Flamenco Ensemble

Friday, March 4, 2011   7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Join us on an unforgettable trip to Southern Spain with the Chris Burton Jácome Flamenco Ensemble. You will be inspired by the passion and intensity of this world-class ensemble of musicians, singers and flamenco dancers. Chris is one of the most in-demand flamenco guitarists in the US and has been wowing audiences across the nation since his return from living in Seville, Spain where he studied flamenco from the masters of this era. The Chris Burton Jácome Flamenco Ensemble will have you yelling, “Olé!” long after you’ve left the theatre.

Advance: Adults $22

Children age 12 and under $12 (with adult ticket purchase)

At the door: All tickets $27

Tickets available now at www.vtota.org or call Bonnie in the theatre office at 879-3925 to make arrangements to purchase by cash or check.

Note: The special $12 children’s tickets are unadvertised — something I negotiated to make the show more affordable for families in our district; however, you will see it as an option when you purchase online.
