RANGELEY — On Thursday, July 19, Rangeley Friends of the Arts will present SEGUE in “Ritmo, Color y Pasion,” a program of Latin American and flamenco music for violin, guitar and dancers. 

Founded in 2005 by violinist Sarah E Geller, the New York-based ensemble features unique combinations of award-winning artists, musicians and dancers who have performed in many prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall.

The July 19 performance will explore Spain’s flamenco dance, from the tragically romantic solea to the passionate tientos and fiery tango, as well as the rich textural flavors of Cuba’s colombianas.

SEGUE debuted “Ritmo, Color y Pasion” at Lincoln Center’s Bruno Walter Auditorium in April 2009. The ensemble continues to perform to sold-out audiences, including the Evergreen Museum and Library in Baltimore and the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center in New York City.

SEGUE’s award-winning artists include classical and flamenco guitarist/arranger Jared Newman and flamenco dancer Eva Conti-Alegria.

Geller brings to the ensemble her own personal, defining sound and musical interpretations that move SEGUE’s performances beyond mere dictation of ideas to a sharing of nuances between performer and audience.

Geller has  appeared in recital at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Gainesville Pro Musica in Georgia and St. Andrew Music Society in Manhattan. This season’s highlights include performances on series at The Strad for Lunch in Manhattan and the Community College of Baltimore County in Maryland.

Newman has performed with Flamenco Latino and Andrea del Conte Danza Espana at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, the Atlantic Theatre and Thalia Spanish Theatre; and for “The Phantom Lady” by Calderon de la Barca at the Soho Repertory Theatre in New York City.

Alegria brings a lifetime of music performance and study to her dance. Since 2004, she has been a featured dancer and musical arranger with the Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre.

SEGUE’s performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Lakeside Theater. There will be a wine and cheese reception at 6:30 p.m. For tickets, $15, call the Rangeley Chamber of Commerce at 864-5364.
