Take a musical journey through Spain, Morocco, Egypt, and beyond exploring the romance, emotion, and the passion of the Spanish Guitar. Reflecting the new generation of Spanish composers, guitar maestro David Maldonado performs 100 Years of Spanish Guitar, featuring original Spanish compositions and re- worked pieces dating back to the early 1900s by legendary composers Geronimo Jimenez, Sabicas (Godfather of Flamenco), and even selections by Augustin Barrios. David Maldonado is a true master of the Spanish guitar, marrying incredible guitar technique with the showmanship of a natural born performer.

Maldonado's proficiency of Spanish guitar styles includes flamenco, classical and modern, along with challenging styles of rasqueado, a precise rapid strumming pattern using all the fingers of the right hand, and picados, which feature lightning-fast guitar scales. A true guitar virtuoso, Maldonado has brought his crowd- pleasing music across the globe, and has released four albums of music in a variety of Spanish guitar traditions.

In this show you will see these musical pieces as well as the Middle School’s Orchestra, Symphonic Band, Drumline, and other groups perform songs with David Maldonado. You will experience many styles of dance to fit the journey through music as seen in bellydancing, flamenco and modern dance.
