Since 2004 she has been one of the resident teachers at the prestigious “Amor de Dios” school in Madrid and also travels the world to deliver workshops.
Concha is, at present, one of the most outstanding Flamenco dancers and is getting brilliant reviews and critiques. From August 18th to 23rd, she will be part of the dance corps for “Flamenco Hoy”, the new show directed by Carlos Saura, due to premiere at Madrid’s Veranos de la Villa this summer.
Concha Jareño will present for the first time in Dublin her production “Simplemente flamenco”, a dance suite which includes Martinetes, Milonga, Farruca y Caracoles. Flamenco, simply.
She will be accompanied on stage by guitarist Flavio Rodrigues, violinist Raúl Márquez and singers Gema Caballero and Pedro Obregón.
This event is presented in collaboration with Instituto Cervantes Dublín and the Spanish Embassy in Ireland.
