Internationally renowned Mexican Classical guitarist with Spanish Flamenco dancer.

We are delighted to include this wonderful Spanish Guitar concert featuring world-class Mauricio Díaz Álvarez, accompanied by Cadiz Flamenco dancer María Pardo at the beautiful Parabola Arts in Cheltenham, as part of this year's Flamenco Festival.

Mauricio is a Classical Guitarist of Mexican origin living in France, via several years residing in Spain where he attended the Real Conservatorio Superior de Musica de Madrid, under renowned composer and guitarist Gabriel Estarellas. Mauricio is currently Professor of Classical Guitar at the Conservatoire des Beaux Arts in Choisy-le-Roi, France and also performs with many orchestras and gives masterclasses throughout the world.

We are lucky to have such an amazing musician in our midst and look forward to hearing him perform extracts from Suite Española Op.47 by Albéniz and his own work Hommage à J.Malats, amongst other much-loved works, accompanied by Flamenco and Spanish National dance.
