The spirit of flamenco will persist this summer with four days of virtual performances offered by the Victoria Flamenco Festival.

While the Flamenco de la Isla Society has decided to suspend all in-person events for its 2021 festival, prospective attendees can look forward to virtual flamenco dance and music exhibitions from July 22 to 25 for the SocietyB次元官网网址檚 ninth annual festival. Twelve featured shows and a video gallery of emerging artists will be available online throughout the festival.

Performers will include talented dancers, guitarists and singers of both local and international origins. Society artistic director Amity Skala said in an email that summer performances will remain virtual to respect travel limitations for performers living in Mexico, Spain and other parts of Canada.
