Andrew Blanch: Spanish Romance (Orlando)

Spanish Romance: a concert celebrating beautiful music, outstanding virtuosity, and love

Returning to the USA with his highly acclaimed program, Spanish Romance (with over 7,500 tickets sold to date), Andrew Blanch brings a musical journey like no other to American audiences. Regarded as one of Australia’s leading musicians, Andrew has been praised as a “rockstar of nylon-acoustic music” (On Sounds), “the real deal” (Classics Today), “dazzling” (ArtsHub), and “brilliant” (Limelight Magazine). He is a prizewinner in more than ten international guitar competitions, a finalist for Performance of the Year at the 2022 Australian Art Music Awards, and has released three studio albums to critical acclaim. His career has taken him around the world—from Berlin to London, São Paulo to Auckland, Valencia, and Rome—and this November and December, you’ll have the chance to experience his artistry as he continues his inaugural tour of the USA.

Be moved by the beauty of music & inspiring stories

Spanish Romance is a lovingly crafted journey tracing the Spanish guitar from its origins in the European Baroque with a concerto by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, to masterpieces by 19th century Spanish composers Isaac Albéniz and Francisco Tárrega before finishing with a selection of South American works from Venezuela to Brazil.

The show concludes in Argentina, where Andrew is joined on stage by his partner, Argentinian mezzo-soprano Maria Eugenia Nieva for authentic Argentinian musica folklorica.  Performing these songs since the age of six, Maria Eugenia’s rich voice transports you directly to her hometown of Mendoza, filling you with joy, romance, nostalgia and everything in between. 

Join us for an unforgettable evening

Don’t miss out on this enchanting evening; where you will be dazzled by the best of the Spanish guitar, moved by heart-warming melodies and stories, touched with the warmth of the Spanish and Latin American music and culture.
