Flamenco Orígenes Join this exceptional group of traditional flamenco artists as they journey from one continent to the next exploring artistic expressions, delving deep into almost-forgotten knowledge and searching for true origins of the art form that we have come to know as flamenco.
Flamenco Orígenes celebrates the multitude of art forms that fed into the evolution of flamenco, the traditional art form of the Andalusian people, which evolved out of the melting pot of cultures and peoples that have lived and thrived in Andalusia, in the South of Spain, for millennia. We can trace flamenco’s roots to the four corners of the earth, from ancient trade routes to modern shipping lanes – from the Guajiras which has roots in Cuba, to the Arabic Zambra, to the flamenco Milonga from Argentina, art, like the artist, is in a constant state of change, and flamenco has absorbed sounds and movements wherever it goes.
Lourdes Fernández and her Flamenco Company welcomes you to join them on this epic adventure spanning multiple continents and hundreds of years and discover more about the beautifully rich art which we have come to know as flamenco. Dates: Sat 08 Booking and More Information

Song of Farewell (TBC) The acclaimed documentary Song of Farewell, produced by Yorkshire Television and first screened on ITV in 1982, is the tale of two Yorkshiremen, recounting Scarborough-born Eric Fenby’s legendary collaboration with the blind and paralysed Frederick Delius in the last six years of the Bradford-born composer’s life in France. In the last 40 years it has had screenings around the world.



When he was over 70 years old, Eric Fenby agreed to place on record his final thoughts on music of Frederick Delius, and to describe the part he played in the composition of his final works. It was an emotional experience to re-visit the locations of the story - Scarborough, Paris and London - and to recall his occasionally stormy relationship with Delius.



The film’s Producer/Director Nick Gray will introduce this screening. Nick says that: “This will be a homecoming for Song of Farewell because filming started in Scarborough exactly 44 years ago, in November 1981, with Eric Fenby describing his musical upbringing. At the time there were high winds and tumultuous seas, which suited some of Delius’s music, highlighting Fenby’s achievement of, as he says in the film, ‘catching these last notes of Delius before they flew away’.” Dates: Sat 22 Booking and More Information
