Echoes of Andalusia: Adam Del Monte (Long Beach)

America’s Leading Guitar Concert Series

Presents

Echoes of Andalusia

Performed by Adam Del Monte

About the Concert

Adam del Monte stands at the forefront of contemporary flamenco and classical guitar. His music draws on centuries of tradition while speaking in a distinctly modern language — rhythmically driven, harmonically rich, and unafraid of contrast.

In this solo recital, del Monte performs works by Albéniz alongside his own compositions, tracing a path from Andalusian song forms to new works that expand the expressive range of the guitar.

Each piece reveals his deep understanding of both styles — their shared roots, their tension, and their potential to evolve.
