Juanito Pascual is recognized in the U.S. and Spain as a unique flamenco and jazz composer\/performer. His influences range from Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead to Miles Davis and J.S. Bach. Born in Minneapolis, Pascual has released three, critically-acclaimed albums, including \u201cCosas en Com\u00fan\u201d that features all original flamenco compositions. His special guests for this appearance are Jorge Pardo, who is credited with introducing the flute in flamenco while playing with the late guitar master, Paco de Lucia. Pardo remains one of the world\u2019s most innovative flamenco artists. His album, “Trance Sketches,” featuring Pascual and others, earned 2023 Best Jazz Album at MIN in Spain. Flamenco dancer Nel\u00edda Tirado and Jos\u00e9 Moreno, percussionist\/vocalist, two exceptional performers from New York City, appear with Pascual at HVCC for the second time, greatly enhancing what promises to be a showcase of flamenco\u2019s beauty and passion.<\/p>\nToss The Feathers<\/strong> Lost Radio Rounders: Songs America Voted By<\/strong> Finger Lakes Guitar Quartet Maria Zemantauski, adjunct faculty member in the Fine Arts, Theatre Arts and Digital Media Department, is coordinator of the Cultural Affairs Program.

Toss the Feathers, featuring Amy Schoch, violin, viola, vocals; Dave Smith, Irish bouzouki, banjo, vocals; and David Pease, Irish flute and whistles, brings Irish music to life through stories and song. The three met at informal Irish and traditional music sessions and formed a trio in 2015 to play at local pubs, weddings and festivals. Recent performances were at New Year\u2019s Fest and The Flurry, both in Saratoga Springs. Flutist Dan Majallali often joins the group, which also hosts a monthly evening of Irish music, dancing and storytelling in Albany.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u201cSongs America Voted By (1840-1940)\u201d is a rousing review from the days before radio, television and social media, when political campaigns were advertised with \u201csongsters.\u201d These booklets contained new, politically-charged lyrics to popular songs of the day that promoted a candidate\u2019s virtues and vilified the opposition. An acoustic trio, the Lost Radio Rounders share vocal duties, with Tom Lindsay on guitar, bass and piano; Michael Eck on mandolin, guitar and ukulele; and Paul Jossman on banjo and guitar.<\/p>\n
