Most recently appearing at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Adam del Monte is one of the leading classical and flamenco guitarists and composers of his generation, and certainly the most recognized and celebrated American flamenco guitarist. Incorporating a wide array of musical styles in his compositions, Mr. del Monte creates a unique sound and language of flamenco that is both steeped in tradition, and progressive in its openness to musical flavors from around the world. His concert performances include appearances at The Dorothy Chandler Pavillion and The Hollywood Bowl, among other U.S. venues, as well as in spain, Venezuela, Russia and Israel. Mr. del Monte is also a faculty member at the USC Thornton School of Music.

Winner of the 2012 Solti Foundation Award, and the 2011 Mozarteum Argentino, Mercedes Juan Musotto, pianist and conductor, was born in Argentina. After earning her Master's degree in Opera Conducting from the Teatro Colon Art College, she served as a coach, pianist, and assistant conductor at the Teatro Argentino in Buenos Aires, and performed as a pianist in Argentina, Italy and Canada. Ms. Musotto moved to Los Angeles in 2013, where she married guitarist Adam del Monte. She currently serves as chorus master and principal collaborative pianist for Center Stage Opera.
