Misa Flamenca | Spring 2017
choreographed by Danica Sena
Misa Flamenca is an exciting cross-genre production that blends 18th-century sacred music with traditional Spanish dance. This unique collaboration with flamenco and ballet choreography beautifully merges the solemn grandeur of the royal court with vibrant street artistry.
The performance interweaves the soaring choral melodies of Francisco Courcelle's church masterpiece, the Missa Ave Maris Stella, with two distinct styles of movement. Audiences experience an uplifting artistic dialogue as the graceful elegance of the Avant Chamber Ballet contrasts with intimate, spirited flamenco interludes. Led by head choreographer Danica Sena, the Orchestra of New Spain partnered with Son y Tacón and Avant to create a joyful, seamless bridge between the cathedral and the courtyard.
The Orchestra of New Spain performed Misa Flamenca on February 16th-17th, 2017, at Dallas City Performance Hall. Danica Sena, choreographer and director of Son Y Tacón.
