menco with the Spanish establishment, he introduced it and his virtuoso guitar technique to the world. And if you were attend-ing a Paco de Lucía Sextet concert, you came to hear the guitar, Paco’s guitar.

He was born Francisco Gustavo Sánchez Gomes in Algeciras, a city in the far southern part of Spain in a province considered the heart of flamenco, Cádiz. Like other boys in Spain at the time, because there were so many named Paco, he took the name of his mother Lucía, thus becoming Paco de Lucía. His father was a fla-menco guitarist and Paco’s first teacher. At a young age his father took him out of school so he could study the guitar more, up to 12 hours a day.

At age 11 he made his first public appearance, at 14 he made his first record with his brother and began touring with the flamenco troupe of José Greco, a famous Flamenco dancer. Early albums were traditional Flamenco. But the more he toured and performed the more he encountered other talented Flamenco performers. One important encounter and collaboration was with Camarón de la Isla.

This exposure, along with that of musicians outside the Flamenco community, would lead to Paco’s contribution to the New Flamenco style he would bring not only to Flamenco aficio-nados but to the world. He collaborated with jazz and rock fusion guitarists John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Larry Coryell and jazz piano virtuoso Chick Corea. He played with Santana and formed his own group the Paco de Lucía Sextet. His influence on Flamenco guitar and the guitar world overall is immeasurable.

~ ~ ~

Our Flamenco Guitarathon on November 14th will feature five outstanding Minnesota guitarists, each of whom will bring a unique perspective and expertise to this exciting

and powerful musical form for the classical guitar. Michael Ziegahn

Michael Ziegahn, “Rafael de Tresa,” has been playing guitar since graduating from Highland Park Sr. High. His teachers include Michael and Tony Hauser, Dan Glass, Paul Berget, and Pedro Cortes Jr. in Minnesota, and Luis Maravilla, Antonio Andrade, and a group class with Manolo Sanlucar in

Spain. He is a class guitarist for Anda Flamenco dance school and appeared in several productions with them including “Dona Quixote” and “Senora Butterfly”at the Minnesota Fringe Festival. He has also worked with local groups Rincón del Flamenco, Zorongo Flamenco, and his own group Sendero Flamenco with dancer La Tarara. In 2007 he was the guitarist in the dance theatre work “Hiroshima—A Night Dreamt and a Day Flashed to Burn” at Intermedia Arts by choreographer and dancer Sachiko. He is a past president of the Minnesota Guitar Society and has partici-pated in the previous Flamenco Guitarathons, 2012’s Acoustic Guitarathon, the Community Concert Series in 2013 and our very first Guitarathon (the MGS’s first public event!) ....way back when.

A few thoughts on Flamenco and Paco de Lucía by guest curator, Jerry Bannach.

When you hear the word

flamenco what comes to mind first for most peo-ple is the dancers.

With their heels stamping the ground to a strong rhythm, stand-ing tall with a proud almost defiant posture. They dance with an intensity that can be intimidating to an audience unfamiliar with this art form. But dance is only one part of flamenco. It also includes singing, handclapping and of course the guitar. In fact, over the last few decades the flamenco guitar has begun to be recognized as a solo instrument within the flamenco community and the general population.

This role of the guitarist in flamenco, in evolving from a sup-porting player carrying the rhythm for the dancers and singers, to an equal partner in the performance, can be attributed to a number of guitarists. Sabicas and Nino Ricardo had an influ-ence in helping this change to occur. However, one guitarist took what these pioneers did to the next level. While legitimizing fla-

daniel VolovetsDaniel Volovets is a guitarist, composer,

arranger, and instructor specializing in classical, flamenco, Latin American, and jazz music. Born in the U.S., his repertoire is influenced by his Russian heritage and his studies with distinguished Russian classi-cal, Brazilian jazz, and Spanish flamenco

guitar masters. Daniel performs regularly throughout the Twin Cities through the Minnesota Guitar Society, Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre, 3M, the Cedar Cultural Center, Cargill Inc., and the Saint Paul Public Library (just to name a few) and at restau-rants, weddings, theater productions, private parties, and various other venues. A notable recent performance was an appearance at the Dakota Jazz Club as part of a tribute to the recently departed Paco de Lucía. Daniel has recorded four CDs of arrangements and original compositions: Watercolors of the World, Silhouette, Rite of Passage, and Rainy Highway. He is also a recent graduate from the University of St. Thomas with a B.S. in Neuroscience and aspires to balance careers in medicine and music.

Trevor MayTrevor May began his studies of flamenco

in Sevilla, Spain right out of high school. For over 15 years he has been playing around the Midwest, most notably with Zorongo Flamenco in the Twin Cities. Studying at the “Fundación Cristina Heeren de Arte Flamenco” gave Trevor a pure foundation of

flamenco accompaniment for singing and dance. This passion has provided him the opportunity to play for many world-class fla-menco artists such as the esteemed dancer Manolete. Trevor now plays with a variety of artists to keep the tradition of flamenco alive for all audiences.

Michael HauserThe son of two artists, sculptor Alonzo

Hauser, and modern dancer Nancy Hauser, Michael Hauser began his first career with a degree in forestry, and upon graduating in 1960, worked in Alaska, and then as a forester in West Africa, where for two years he spent time continuing to teach himself

flamenco from phonograph recordings, as he had done through-out college. In 1963, he finally made his way up to Spain, where he studied intensively for 6 months. Along the way, he hung out with the Beatles in Madrid, never having heard of them since he had been in the bush for the previous two years. He even played and selected a flamenco guitar that George Harrison played in the movie, “A Hard Day’s Night.” The Beatles then came to the U.S, and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, in 1964, with Michael Hauser returning to Minnesota about the same time, introduc-ing flamenco to the Midwest. Since then, Hauser has performed throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and the Far East. He has also toured with his younger brother Tony Hauser, a student of the great classical master, Andres Segovia, as part of the Michael and Tony Hauser classical/flamenco Duo. Michael Hauser has also been guitarist for a number of touring Spanish dance companies, and was co-founder of the Minneapolis-based Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theater. He teaches at Macalester College, and continues to perform.

Michael will be assisted on his performance of Val’s Bulerias by Matthew Hoerr and Scot Eichorst.

Ben Abrahamson Ben Abrahamson is an active guitar-

ist, composer, and improviser based in the Twin Cities. His passion for flamenco gui-tar drove him to Taller de Músics School of Music in Barcelona, Spain, where he studied under Juan Ramón Caro. He has served as guest composer/guitarist with the

Muhlenberg College Theatre & Dance Dept. in Allentown, PA, and the Macalester College Dance Dept. Ben has shared the stage with such mentors as flamenco guitarists Michael Hauser and Pedro Cortés, Jr., dance veterans Susana di Palma and La Conja, jazz educator Joan Griffith, and music iconoclast Gary Lee Joyner. Abrahamson performs with groups like Zorongo Flamenco

Each year, as part of our season of concerts at Sundin Music Hall, the Minnesota Guitar Society hosts a recent winner of a Guitar Foundation of America, (GFA), International Guitar

Competition. The 2013 winner, Anton Baranov, will be perform-ing on December 6. This year, our season will also feature winners from previous years (Jérémy Jouve, GFA winner from 2003 and Antigoni Goni, GFA winner from 1995.) We are fortunate to have such a strong relationship with the GFA, thanks, in no small part, to our artistic director, Joe Hagedorn, who won their solo competi-tion in 1990. I thought it would be helpful to take a brief look at the GFA to educate others and myself about their important contri-bution to the promotion of excellence and professionalism in the guitar world. Much more information about their work, including competitions and music is available in their quarterly publication, Soundboard, and on their website, <www.guitarfoundation.org>.HistoryThe GFA has a 38-year track record of commitment to the classi-cal guitar community as the pre-eminent non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to our instrument in the country. The GFA was formed in 1973 at the National Guitar Convention sponsored by the American String Teachers Association (ASTA). It has, since the 1970’s, published a quarterly journal, Soundboard; established a large archive of scores, books and manuscripts; hosted annual

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative

appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Russian guitarist Anton Baranov will perform at Sundin Music Hall

Dec. 6, 8 pm. Baranov is a prizewinner

of more then fifteen presti-gious international guitar competitions, including the Koblenz Guitar Competition, Andrés Segovia Competition, Agustín Barrios Competition, Robert Vidal Competition, and Pittaluga Guitar

Competition. At the height of his young career, he won both the Guitar Foundation of America International Concert Artist Competition and the Francisco Tárrega Competition in 2013.

Known for his daring interpretation and innovative program-ming, guitarist and composer Roland Dyens calls him, “a real musician, one of those rare guitarists who are able to have their attendees almost forget the instrument they play, managing to have them focus on the expressivity of the music and only this.”

As part of his prize from winning the GFA competition, Mr. Baranov will embark on a 50-city concert tour throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Brazil, and has just record-ed his first album on the Naxos label. Mr. Baranov has been a D’Addario artist since 2013. He currently teaches at his alma mater, the St. Petersburg Conservatory.

Anton Baranov was born in 1984 in the Northwest region of Russia. He graduated from the famous St. Petersburg State Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in 2010 under grants from the Russian Ministry of Culture and the Russian Performing Arts Foundation.

The winners have been some of the leading young guitarists, and the GFA Competition has been very helpful to them in launching their performing careers with GFA-organized recital tours. The annual GFA International Guitar Competition has grown to be one of the most presti-gious in the world; and the annual GFA winner’s concert tour is cur-rently comprised of approximately 50 concerts around the country.

Mission StatementThe Guitar Foundation of America inspires artistry, builds community, and promotes the classical guitar internationally through excellence in performance, literature, education and research.
