Exhibit 1 / Revised Project Description
Organization: Siempre Flamenco, Inc.
Instructions: Describe the Project, in complete detail, as approved by the Grants Panel. In a separate
narrative, detail all revisions to the Project, as approved by the City Commission. Please be as specific as
possible, and include the name of any events, specific dates, venues, times, artists, etc. Use an extra page
if necessary.
Project description as approved by Grants Panel:
The project description as approved by the grants panel to support Siempre Flamenco's 2017-2018
season of events in Miami Beach, included two different concerts, the premiere of Flamenco Soul of
Manuel de Falla and Flamenco Sephardit V.
As originally described, the project Flamenco Soul of Manuel de Falla was to take place in the
intimate Fillmore Miami Beach Gleason Room in November 2017. This was going to be a
collaboration between Cuban -American soprano Nathalie Avila and Siempre Flamenco.
Composer Manuel de Falla is known for weaving elements of Spanish folk music into his
ballets, operas, orchestral and chamber works. The styles and provenance of the songs are
strikingly diverse but highly influenced by flamenco style and cante jondo. In this concert we
would pair each folksong with a flamenco song. Soprano Nathalie Avila would sing Falla and
Paco Fonta would sing flamenco. They would be accompanied by flamenco guitar, classical
guitar and piano. There would be 2 performances over one weekend.
As originally described, the project Flamenco Sephardit V in collaboration with Jeffrey Eckstein
would be performed at Temple Emanu-El in Miami Beach January 2018.
Flamenco Sephardit explores two distinct musical cultures, similar in origins and stories of
intolerance. It was originally conceived by Jeffrey Eckstein as a way to explore the many
connections between the ladino and flamenco music of Spain as well as the Hispanic and
Jewish influences present here in Miami Beach. The show features the distinct vocal styles of
the renowned mezzo-soprano Audrey Babcock, the earthy flamenco of Paco Fonta, and the
chants of Rabbi Marc Philippe. The singers are accompanied by guitar, cello, violin and
percussion plus flamenco dancing by Celia Fonta and Jose Junco. Flamenco Sephardit is a
spectacle of music, song and dance that fascinates and captivates audiences with its unique
mix of flamenco and Ladino and elements of classical music.

Project description as revised (if applicable) based upon the City Commission approved award:
Changes to projects funded by Grants awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the
requirement that the work is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
Due to budget restrictions the project Flamenco Soul of Manuel de Falla has been cancelled.With the amount
awarded in the grant we are only able to present one of the concerts.We will be presenting Flamenco Sephardit V
as described in the original grant approved by the panel. The only change is the date. The concert will be on
February 11th 2018 at 7pm at Temple Emanu-El in Miami Beach.
