Chamber Music Corvallis presents Fandango!

This concert takes place at the FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (in the sanctuary), Monroe Avenue & 9th/8th Street, right next to Central Park.

Tickets information available : http://www.chambermusiccorvallis.org/tickets.html

One of the most exciting groups on Chicago’s musical
scene, FANDANGO! is a toe-tappingly spicy mix of
Latin, Spanish, and classical sounds founded by four
multi-award-winning, globe-trotting virtuosi who hail
from Spain, the USA, former Yugoslavia, and the UK,
and who have played, separately and together, on the
world’s most prestigious stages. FANDANGO! made
its Washington DC début on the illustrious Dumbarton
Oaks series, has appeared at Roosevelt University’s
Ganz Hall in Chicago, the Bermuda International
Festival, and has toured nearly every region of the
USA. Their diverse program features works and
arrangements for this unique ensemble of flute, violin,
guitar, and cello, from the traditional “classical”
sounds of Antonio Vivaldi and Joseph Haydn to
Spanish and South American inspired tunes by
Maurice Ravel, Manuel de Falla, and Ástor Piazzolla,
among others.
