Joaquin Gallegos
Flamenco Guitar
Tickets: $5 student/$10 adult
It is a rare and precious treat to experience Flamenco's passionate music in it's purer form. The Guitar of traditional Flamenco is demanding not only technically, but soulfully, and takes a great deal of time and deep dedication to master. Joaquin Gallegos weaves a potent cultural experience that is both meditative and intensely expressive, that brings alive both the delicious flavors of Spain and the unique styling of Flamenco as it finds a home in New Mexico.
Joaquin Gallegos was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He studied music starting at the age of 8 and at 9 years old he was playing the electric guitar which he studied throughout his childhood and was playing professionally at the age of 14. Joaquin's studies in jazz and other music at UNM led him to travel to Granada, Spain in 1998 where he began studying flamenco guitar and continued living between Spain and New Mexico for the next 10 years, studying with guitarrists Emilio Maya, Paco Cortes, Manolo Sanlucar, Anton Jimenez and many others. He has performed throughout the U.S. and in Sevilla and Granada, Spain including at the legendary Tablao Albaizin in Granada. He won 1st prize at the EXPO 2002 flamenco competition at the Festival Flamenco Internacional in Albuquerque, NM and was a semi-finalist at the Internacional Competition of Flamenco Guitar "Nino Ricardo" in Murcia, Spain in 2007. His debut solo album, La Jornada, was released in 2005.

“In a Dream”
Peter Kater & Dominic Miller
Concert will be held at the Santuario de Guadalupe at 417 Agua Fria St.
Tickets: $25 presale at Body/ $30 at the door
Peter Kater was born in Munich Germany in 1958 and later moved with his family to New Jersey where he started classical piano lessons which later led to a deep exploration into contemporary improvisation. His love for Rock and Pop music along with the classics and jazz created a "hybrid" style of his own. Based out of Boulder, CO in the 1980's, Peter and only a handful of musicians spearheaded a brand new genre of music we now know as New Age music. Peter went on to be a leading contributor to Contemporary Jazz radio with several Top 10 national releases. He also helped bring Native American and World Music to the mainstream in collaborations with Native American flutist, R. Carlos Nakai, and Tibetan flautist, Nawang Khechog. Add to that scores for 11 On and Off-Broadway plays, over 100 television programs and many films and documentaries and you're just starting to understand this diverse and prolific artist. Peter has received 5 Grammy Award nominations in the last 6 years, has sold millions of CD's and is a proud recipient of the Environmental Leadership Award from the United Nations. His love of nature and the environment motivates him to work with the media arts to help and inspire support many environmental support organizations. He's recently scored the music to the award winning films "10 Questions for the Dalai Lama" and the soon to be released "Legends of Secret Pass".
You've heard guitarist Dominic Miller play on STING classics like "Fields Of Gold" and "Shape Of My Heart". In fact, you've heard him on all of STING's recordings. As one of the most sought after session guitarists of our time, he is featured on recordings by Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Sheryl Crow, Steve Winwood, Rod Stewart, The Pretenders and Luciano Pavarotti. His recent critically acclaimed all acoustic recording with 5 time Grammy Award nominated pianist/composer Peter Kater features guest appearances by vocalist, Kenny Loggins and cellist, Jaques Morelenbaum. Dominic Miller was born in 1960 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and in 1970 his family moved to Racine, Wisconsin. He took up guitar as a young teenager and later studied with Sabastio Tapajos and at London's Guildhall School of Music. In 1989 Miller met producer Hugh Padgham for the first time, which not only led to Miller's appearance on Phil Collins' blockbuster album "But Seriously”, but also led to his playing on Sting's "The Soul Cages" in 1991. Ever since, Dominic Miller has been a member of Sting's working band, having played on each CD and every tour to date. Sting himself describes him as being "my right hand and my left hand". Not a minor compliment.
Dominic met Peter while working on a film score Peter was composing and recording and the two both felt they needed to record a CD together. “IN A DREAM” was released in late 2008 and July of 2009 marks the beginning of their first concert tour together. This promises to be an inspiring intimate evening of all acoustic music performed by these two very special musicians.
