Ocurrencia Alexander Dunn Ticket Information
Ocurrencia (Flamenco Trio)Saturday, April 8, 2000
The Ocurrencia flamenco trio is but one example of Calgary's steadily growing interest in flamenco music and dance. Ocurrencia's performances are distinguished by a strong sense of both traditional and contemporary approaches to the flamenco are form, and by the trio's eclectic range of musical sensibilities. Guitarist Holly Blazina's training in the accompaniment of flamenco singing and dancing is augmented b her extensive background in classical guitar performance. Annette Morcos is well versed not only in flamenco dance and song but also in the study of Middle Eastern singing. Percussionist Amir Amiri's intuitive sense of rhythm and his tasteful use of percussion are informed by his studies of Persian music, Indian Classical music, as well as his mastery of the dulcimer. Ocurrencia blends this diverse range of musical experience and a collective passion for authentic flamenco to produce music that is vibrant, spontaneous and highly evocative.
