FROM THE DIRECTOR

pening Nights at Florida State University is excited to bring the very best performing arts, music, dance, comedy, literature and visual arts to our campus and community. ON continues its October lineup when international sensations the Gipsy Kings take the Adderley Amphitheater by storm with their signature blend of rumba, salsa and flamenco music. New this season is a fun and unique boots and jeans outdoor performance by Hot Club of Cowtown at the beautiful Phipps Farm on Meridian. Join us for an outstanding western swing music experience, complete with food trucks, bars and plenty of fun. In November, we kick off the holiday season with two exciting performances beginning with Broadway’s Next Hit Musical’s The Phony Awards. This fully improvised performance features memorable characters, hilarious dialogue, song and dance. Who will win the award? November continues with Opening Nights’ first Goodwood Series concert at the Goodwood Museum and Gardens featuring Grammy nominated Della Mae. Don’t miss these amazing ladies performing their heartwarming, bluegrass melodies.
Finally, we end 2023 with a holiday concert for the whole family, featuring a family of musicians. MacMaster & Leahy Celtic Family Christmas will delight all ages with a family Christmas concert. Known as Canada’s reigning couple of Celtic music, they are sure to delight. Join us at Opperman Music Hall on December 7. I cannot think of a better time and opportunity to become a member of Opening Nights and to show your support of our mission to present exceptional artists — a mission worthy of supporting and celebrating! These performances create a thriving cultural life in our community and create priceless educational experiences on campus and throughout the community. Ask any Opening Nights associate about these philanthropic opportunities. Thank you for sharing the first half of our 23–24 season with us. We look forward to many more outstanding performances coming your ways in Tallahassee’s Bicentennial Year, 2024.

The Gipsy Kings
featuring Nicolas Reyes
with special guests The Maharajah Flamenco Trio “Equal parts flamenco, salsa, jazz and pop...”
It has been twenty-five years since the Gipsy Kings captured the world’s imagination with their selftitled debut album—a record that became a genuine phenomenon, certified gold and platinum around the globe, introducing millions of listeners to a unique, irresistible blend of traditional flamenco styles with Western pop and Latin rhythms. Since then, the band has toured virtually non-stop, to the farthest-flung corners of the planet, and sold almost twenty million albums, all the while retaining the same line-up of virtuoso musicians.

The Gipsy Kings
Maharajah Flamenco Trio, a unique nuevo
Continued from pg. 19
flamenco group that fuses the art of flamenco
Nicolas Reyes has been the leader and cofounder of the Gipsy Kings for well over 30 years. In the past three decades, they have dominated the World Music charts and sold more than 14 million albums worldwide. Their platinum compilation, The Best of the Gipsy Kings, was charting for over a year upon its release and their ninth studio album, Savor Flamenco, was awarded the GRAMMY® for Best World Music Album in 2013. 30 years is an eternity in pop music but the story of the Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes has the depth to endure. Theirs is a music that extends through generations, to the sounds of their ancestors—Spanish Romani people who fled the Catalonia region during the Spanish Civil War—and reflects the vibrantly eclectic and peripatetic history of the gitanos.
Founded in Tallahassee, Florida, all three
with jazz, classical, and world music. members of the Trio are graduates of Florida State University and have been performing together since 2011. Maharajah Flamenco Trio is composed of Grammy award-winning guitarist and founder Silviu Ciulei, soulful bassist David Cobb, and percussionist and didgeridoo virtuoso Ramin Yazdanpanah. Over the years, the Trio have performed at various theatres, universities, museums, and festivals across North America. They also repeatedly participate as guest speakers and provide musical workshops to groups of all ages, in order to support the spread of the Flamenco musical language across the country. mftrio.com
