FLAMENCO DANCING IS ALIVE AND<br />
WELL ON SATURDAY NIGHTS<br />

By day it is a narrow<br />
restaurant with painted<br />
walls of dark orange, peacefully<br />
serving traditional tapas<br />
with a tilt toward the northwest<br />
region of Spain – which<br />
means more things like fried,<br />
whole anchovies or peppers<br />
stuffed with black squid rice.<br />
But on Saturday nights it’s<br />
raucous and packed with fans<br />
of flamenco. A small stage at<br />
the end of the restaurant lights<br />
up with (most recently) the<br />
trio Tres a Compáss, pounding<br />
(and clapping) out spirited,<br />
floor-stamping dance, along<br />
with high-spirited guitar and<br />
song that a Gypsy King would<br />
admire. Reservations are suggested<br />
for this slice of deepest<br />
España. And don’t forget to<br />
order the crunchy eggplant<br />
slices drizzled with honey. La<br />

Master Pianist<br />
Who among us hasn’t<br />
heard a prelude, étude,<br />
nocturne, or waltz by the<br />
famous Polish piano composer<br />
Frédéric Chopin? Now is your<br />
chance to soak up more of his<br />
19 th century genius at UM’s<br />
Gusman Concert Hall. While<br />
there will be performances all<br />
week, the big events are Friday<br />
and Saturday nights, June<br />
29 and June 30. That’s when<br />
the stars of the Frost Chopin<br />
Academy will perform two<br />
concerts for free. The first will<br />
be primarily piano, but the second<br />
– and grand finale – night<br />
will witness the performance of<br />
a Chopin piano concerto with<br />
the help of the Amernet String<br />
Quartet.<br />
The music plays from 7:30<br />
p.m. to 9 p.m. both nights.<br />
