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.
