What is Baroque Flamenco?
‘Baroque Flamenco’ is a harp concerto where classical melody and Flamenco-inspired harp techniques combine. It can be programmed alone or as the 3rd movement of the 3-Movement “Soñando en Español” and is appropriate for both classical concerts and alternate programming. The centerpiece of the 2007 “Invention & Alchemy” album, it was nominated for a Grammy for “Best Classical Crossover” album, and appeared as part of a PBS special throughout the US.
“Baroque Flamenco” was premiered with the Boston Pops and has since been programmed world-wide in professional, regional, community and school orchestras. In 2025 it was adapted as a Bandura Concert for a premiere in Kiev, Ukraine and later broadcast on Ukrainian National TV.

BAROQUE FLAMENCO PERFORMANCES
Video Performances of Baroque Flamenco Around the World
One of my favorite parts of being a composer is seeing and hearing other performers pour themselves into my music, heart and soul – making it their own.
As my piece, “Baroque Flamenco,” is performed more and more, I get to see new versions of it all the time on YouTube – sometimes as a solo piece, sometimes with a chamber ensemble, and sometimes with a full orchestra.
