Virtuoso flamenco guitarist Juanito Pascual is "one of the hottest flamenco guitarists in recent years."

Pascual has performed at venues including the Tanglewood Jazz Festival, New York's Lincoln Center, Blue Note Jazz Club, The Panama Jazz Festival, and Madrid's renowned Casa Patas.
Pascual is honored to collaborate in concert with very special guest Jorge Pardo, direct from Madrid.
