Sonia Olla Dance Company to Perform at Cooperstown Musical Festival 8/28
On Sunday, August 28 at 7:30 pm, the Sonia Olla Dance Company will perform as part of the Cooperstown Summer Music Festival. The performance at the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown features dancer Sonia Olla, singer Ismael Fernández, Angel Ruiz, guitar, and dancer Nino De Los Reyes.
Sonia Olla has performed at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Le Poison Rouge, Instituto Cervantes, Birdland, and is featured regularly at Spain's most notable tablaos. Sonia worked as a choreographer for Madonna's 2015-2016 "Rebel Heart Tour." Singer Ismael Fernández grew up performing in flamenco festivals with his renowned family, "La Familia Fernández." With his wife Sonia Olla, he co-produced and co-directed "Entretiempo" and "Tiempo al Aire," which debuted in 2014 at Lincoln Center Outdoors.
Angel Ruiz is a prize-winning flamenco guitar player who has performed internationally. Flamenco dancer Nino De Los Reyes also has performed around the world, and is one of the flamenco artists featured on Paul Simon's new album, Stranger to Stranger.
"I was fortunate to see Sonia Olla and Ismael Fernández in performance on a recent visit to Madrid," says Festival artistic director Linda Chesis. "They were absolutely spectacular. This is one show you won't want to miss".
Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students. Purchase online, cooperstownmusicfest.org; by phone through Brown Paper Tickets, 800/838-3006, or at the door.
Flautist Linda Chesis started the Cooperstown Summer Music Festival with three events in 1999, and since then the Festival has offered the region more than 100 concerts, from classical to contemporary, jazz to bluegrass, cabaret to kids' concerts.
The Cooperstown Summer Music Festival is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
