Estampas del Quijote Rosita Segovia Theatre Time: TBA
Estampas del Quijote, a collaboration between Conchita Espinosa Conservatory of the Art's theatre and Spanish dance departments, is an adaptation of the stories of the famous Don Quijote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Marisol Moreno interlaces excerpts from the original novel with choreographies in a sequence that follows the story of Don Quijote's adventures through La Mancha, as he searches to become a knight and find his Dulcinea. Join us as we witness Don Quijote's "andanzas" through La Mancha alongside his beloved friend and "escudero", Sancho. The second half of the program features Spanish dance choreographies by Marisol Moreno, Raul Salcedo, Leiza Mendez, and Cristina Masdueño.

Conchita Espinosa Concert Series presents Mario Prisuelos
Thanks to Miami's Centro Cultural Español and Yamaha Pianos, this weekend we were blessed to have the presence of the great pianist, Mario Prisuelos at Conchita Espinosa Academy and Conchita Espinosa Conservatory of the Arts. On Friday, November 6th, Mario gave a magnificent master class to our piano students. The language and the simplicity with which he spoke to our children and the sincerity and precision of his corrections left all of us awestruck.
On Saturday, November 7th, he gave an incredible concert at the Rosita Segovia Theatre. We are incredibly fortunate to have had a pianist of his caliber sharing his enormous wealth of knowledge and brilliant spirit with our community.
