“Creating unique and groundbreaking arrangements alongside original compositions, the group’s performances appeal to a wide audience drawn from all cultural backgrounds.

“The music of Classico Latino comes from the often-neglected back-catalogue of the Latin American songbook.

“Our programme explores music from across the continent, drawing on the familiar Samba, Bolero and Tango as well as less-well-known rhythms such as Pasillo, Joropo and Currulao, in a unique combination of instruments and styles which express the original passion and joy of Latin-American music with a contagiously exciting sound.”

General tickets cost £12, concessions are £6 and children can get in for free.
