About the Artists: Award winning Manuel Gutierrez’s prolific career includes performing with the LA Opera and headlining flamenco festivals in Spain, Albuquerque, Los Angeles and throughout the world. The Telegraph in London called his work “Fiery" and Figarro raved “The dance is strong, voluptuous, and spectacular... a profound type of Flamenco and incredibly explosive.” Wendy Castellanos has been featured widely in Los Angeles, from the Fountain Theatre’s Forever Flamenco series to the LA Opera at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. She has studied at Amor de Dios in Madrid and is a graduate of UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures. Andres Vadin’s talent spans genres while highlighting the flamenco guitar as a universal instrument with no boundaries. He graduated from the Guillermo Tomas and Almadeo Roldan Conservatory in Habana, Cuba and his worldwide career has included collaborations on Latin Grammy-nominated albums. Gerardo Morales studied at the Conservatorio Profesional de Música Cristóbal de Morales in Sevilla, Spain. As a Pop Latin percussionist, Gerardo toured with LA’s Burning Star and shared the stage with The Black-Eyed Peas and Christina Aguilera.

Her outstanding performances have graced venues such as the Hollywood Bowl, Lope de Vega in Sevilla, Lincoln Center in New York, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles where she recently presented the sold-out sensation, Flamenco! Fiesta de la Bulería Jerez. Locally she inspires the next generation of dancers at Maria Bermudez Flamenco Performing Arts. Learn more at mbflamenco.com.
