Del Alma Trio - March 14 - 3pm - Basically Beethoven Hallam Concert #5

Their performances blend lyricism, dance, and nuance, creating a sound that is both intimate and expansive, refined yet brimming with rhythmic energy.

The program features Luigi Boccherini’s Introduction and Fandango, a brilliant showcase of Classical grace infused with fiery Spanish character, followed by De Falla's energetic and chilling Ritual Fire Dance, its rhythms and trills painting a picture of a ghostly ceremony.

Rounding out the program are original compositions by guitarist James Tarbutton, most notably En Los Llanos, a compelling blend of European waltz form with the syncopated rhythms and extended harmonies of Venezuela—music that feels both rooted in tradition and vividly contemporary.…
