¡Con Fuego! (with Fire!)

Classical Spanish music and flamenco dance and song fuse in an exciting program of new and traditional music. Founded by guitar virtuoso Aaron Larget-Caplan to fuse classical music and flamenco traditions into exciting new performances. Few flamenco ensembles perform Spanish classical music repertoire with original flamenco dance or sing classical songs in a flamenco style.

¡Con Fuego! performs as a trio of dance/voice, guitar, and cello with artists Aaron Larget-Caplan (Boston), La Conja (New York) & Stephen Marotto (Boston).

¡Con Fuego! blends the subtle beauty of classical music with the fiery passion of flamenco for an unforgettable experience. Classical tradition and the raw energy of flamenco come together in music by Isaac Albéniz, Manuel De Falla, Francisco Tárrega, Joaquín Rodrigo, Enrique Granados, and Esteban Sanlúcar.

La Conja is one of Flamenco world’s most versatile artists with an international reputation as a dancer, singer, and choreographer.
