Life, love and freedom in Iberia -

Join storyteller Rebecca and guitarist José Vílchez for an evening of stories, music and poetry woven together in celebration of Spain’s rich cultural tapestry, from the days of Al-Ándalus to more recent times in Spain and the Alpujarra—passing gently through moments of history such as the Civil War and dictatorship.

Through folktales, legends, songs and poems, we encounter tales of love and loss, laughter and art, resilience and hope. Above all, these are stories of people—men and women who honour their dignity and choose to live life on their own terms. The music performed by José includes works by Ángel Barrios, Francisco Tárrega, and Joaquín Rodrigo, as well as songs arranged by Federico García Lorca from Canciones Españolas Antiguas.
