Benise brings his Acclaimed PBS Special to Kutztown University March 21

Kutztown, PA (03/01/2019) — Join the audience on a romantic and exotic journey of music and dance that celebrates the fire, passion and spirit of Spain with Fuego!, which takes the stage on Thursday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m. in Schaeffer Auditorium on the Kutztown University campus.

Armed with his Spanish guitar, Benise is backed by a stage-full of musicians and elaborately choreographed dancers hand-picked from an international pool of talent. Flamenco dancers take center stage in a tribute to Old World Spain while breathtaking couture fashions and innovative staging and choreography give Spanish dance a fresh and luminous makeover.

With a beautiful and charming Spanish courtyard as the backdrop, Benise debuts all new music, dance and costumes, adding his signature twist on classics such as "Granada," "Malaguena," "Moonlight Sonata," "Asturias" and "Adagio." It's a musical adventure that includes the "Dress of a Thousand Roses," one of the world's largest Flamenco fans, and many more surprises. Fuego! captures world music at its best with a show that appeals to the hearts and souls of people of all ages, cultures and musical backgrounds.

Regular admission is $40, $36 for students and seniors, and can be purchased at www.KutztownPresents.org or by calling the KU Presents! Box Office Tuesday - Friday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 610-683-4092.
