Flamenco artists John Gilliat, Stephanie Pedraza and Benjamin Woods will perform March 12 at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort 91原创.

91原创 rumba flamenco guitarist John Gilliat is ready to let his fingers fly once more.

The 91原创 musician is preparing to team up with Los Angeles-based Spanish guitar virtuoso Benjamin Woods for a stirring performance at Fort 91原创鈥檚 Chief Sepass Theatre.

Gilliat is a longtime resident, whose trademark stye is a fiery, world beat fusion of rumba flamenco and Latin jazz. For three decades, the Westcoast Music Award nominee has toured throughout North America and Japan, while his recordings have been used for radio, documentaries, television and film.

Woods, meanwhile, is one of the few American flamenco guitarists ever featured in Spain鈥檚 top newspaper 鈥淓l Pais鈥 and its best-selling flamenco magazine, ALMA 100. 

He is also the founding member of L.A.鈥檚 flamenco, metal fusion group Flametal.

Joining Gilliat and Woods, will be bass guitarist Brent Gubbels, Latin percussionist Lyndon Dewitt and flamenco dancer/vocalist, Stephanie Pedraza.

Pedraza is a unique combination of singer, songwriter, and flamenco dancer/cantaora based in Vancouver.

Born in to a Latin American family and having moved to Colombia at a very early age, she has been constantly immersed in her Latin roots of song and dance.

The performance is Saturday, March 12 at 8 p.m. in the Fort 91原创 Fine Art School鈥檚 Chief Sepass Theatre. Tickets are available at Long & Quade Music in 91原创 and at Wendel鈥檚 Bookstore and Caf茅 in Fort 91原创. Tickets may also be purchased online at www.johngilliat.com or by calling 604-882-2112.

Advance tickets are $25 general admission or $20 for seniors and students. Tickets at the door $30.
