Message from Gala Hostess Yota Baron
The initiator and hostess of the Flamenco Gala, Yota Baron—a celebrated flamenco singer and teacher—shares:
“As a student, I always valued those rare moments of rehearsing with live musicians and fellow dancers. It’s a luxury we seldom experience. This Gala gives passionate talents—young and old—the chance to perform in a professional setting, connect, grow, and share their love of flamenco with a live audience.”
— Yota Baron, Flamenco Singer & Gala Founder
