Thanks to funding from the Weston Cultural Council, Regis College will present a ¡Con Fuego! (with Fire!) workshop and performance on October 18th at 7:00 p.m. American guitar virtuoso Aaron Larget-Caplan (Boston, MA), international flamenco dancer, singer, and choreographer La Conja (NY, NY), and guest cellist Rafael Popper-Keizer join forces as ¡Con Fuego! for a night of hypnotic dance, virtuosic guitar, mesmerizing cello, silky castanets, and splendid costumes.

¡Con Fuego! will take the audience on an exhilarating journey of Spanish classical music with original flamenco dance and song at the Casey Theatre in the Regis Fine Arts Center in Weston.

On October 17th from 4 – 5:30 p.m. in Regis Fine Arts Center’s Sullivan Studio Theatre, La Conja and Larget-Kaplan will lead a flamenco dance workshop which will include basic footwork, hands and arms, compass, and choreography.

Both the workshop and the performance will be free and open to the public.

He has premiered over 80 compositions and his recordings are available on Albany, Navona, and Stone Records UK.
