One of today's brightest vocal stars joins one of the world's great guitar virtuosos for an unforgettable performance that will evoke the rich and magnificent musical traditions of Spain. This intimate evening pairs Isabel Leonard, the glamorous mezzo-soprano who has dazzled opera lovers worldwide, with Pablo Sáinz-Villegas, praised by Billboard as “the soul of the Spanish guitar.”

Pablo Sáinz-Villegas: "His Spanish character and passion created a magic atmosphere in the hall.

Thüringer Allgemeine (Germany)

"Leonard’s rich mezzo is perfect for this music — she’s dark and intense, always beautiful, but with the rustic edge that this music needs... Her delivery — not just her voice, but her face and gestures — changed as each story unveiled.
