Classical Spanish Music & Flamenco Dance Ensemble
¡Con Fuego! (with Fire!) fuses classical Spanish music with flamenco dance and song in an exciting program of new and traditional music. Founded and directed by Aaron Larget-Caplan, ¡Con Fuego! performs as a trio of dance/voice, guitar and cello with artists based in Boston and New York.
A flexible group of 2-4 performers, ¡Con Fuego! blends the subtle beauty of classical music with the fiery passion of flamenco for an unforgettable experience. Classical tradition and the raw energy of flamenco come together in music by Isaac Albéniz, Manuel De Falla, Francisco Tarrega, Joaquin Rodrigo, Enrique Granados, and Esteban Sanlucar.

There are many flamenco ensembles, as well as classical music ensembles that focus on Spanish music, but few combine the traditions of Spanish folk music (flamenco) and Spanish classical music. ¡Con Fuego! is a unique gift to the heart and senses.
