Two years ago, Lili Nogueras and Josué Tacoronte began their duo with the project Opera Flamenca and now they perform a program of traditional Mexican songs, with classical/popular voice and flamenco guitar. For this special performance they are joined by guest trombonist Jeremy Berkman who brings a unique and original musical contrast. As a trio they were featured in “Elementos” for Turning Point Ensemble's 1+1+1 film project and were recently invited to contribute to the Victoria Flamenco Festival. Pianist and soprano Lili Nogueras began studying music at the age of 6 and has studied and performed around the world. Acclaimed by critics, guitarist Josué Tacoronte has released three albums and in 2013 he was awarded Best Concert Interpreter at the International Festival CUBADISCO Awards. Trombonist Jeremy Berkman currently performs with the Vancouver Opera Orchestra, Cappella Borealis, and the Vancouver Brass Orchestra and has contributed to over 30 commercial recordings.
