Flamenco Represented at Jacob's Pillow

Yesterday, the UNM Flamenco Performance Ensemble, under the direction of Marisol Encinias, performed “Las Horas Contadas” (choreographed by Marco Flores) at the historical and world-renown Jacob's Pillow in Becket, MA.  

Marisol and Eva Encinias, and UNM dance professor Lidón Patiño joined the ensemble, which was comprised of Dominique Adessa, Chloe Mendoza, Isabella Alderete, Isabella Nuanez, Jesalyn McCollum, and Madison Olguin.

When you make a gift to the National Institute of Flamenco, you support NIF-driven partnerships with the University of New Mexico and Tierra Adentro New Mexico Arts Charter School, as well as NIF’s Conservatory of Flamenco Arts and professional repertory company, Yjastros.

These partnerships and programs have resulted in life-changing opportunities for the UNM Flamenco Performance Ensemble to perform at the prestigious Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival this week, as well as national recognition for Madison Olguin, a Tierra Adentro and UNM graduate, and Yjastros and UNM Flamenco Ensemble member.

These opportunities can only be sustained and expanded with your support!
