See Kassiano LIVE - One night Only - It's going to be a BLAST!

Whatever your commitments on Thursday, April 19, clear your calendar and get tickets NOW for a sure-to-be sold-out one-night-only concert with the Jamaican-born phenomenon, Kassiano, at Boutique Theatre Performing Arts Centre.

Then get ready for a high-energy, knock-your-socks-off 90-minute performance that promises to rejuvenate your spirit, bring joy to your heart, and rekindle nostalgic memories of bell bottom pants, platform shoes and Afro hairdos.

A multi-award-winning charismatic entertainer, Kassiano began his career at the age of six and has been wowing audiences for nearly thirty years, from Montego Bay and Maui, to Argentina and the US and Canada.

He has enjoyed a prolific career as a recording artist, writer and musician and has also appeared in films (Going to Extremes with Christopher Walken and Scam with Maxi Priest). His most recent DVD, In Case of Fire, just released this March, is one of several in which he features original songs, some of which (Hay Cosita Linda and Cuando Cuando) have become hits not only in Mexico but also in Chile and Columbia.

In the first half of his exciting upcoming concert at Boutique Theatre, he will pay tribute to some of the great singers of the 70's and 80's, including Lou Rawls, Donna Summer, the Village People, The Temptations, Earth Wind and Fire, and more.

Following intermission, the lively second set will celebrate the Caribbean, reggae, salsa and merengue songs of Harry Belafonte, Elvis Presley, Barry White, Neil Diamond and Bob Marley, among others.  

Tickets for the performance, which begins at 7:30 pm, are 300 pesos. They may be purchased at: the Saturday Coop Market at Paradise Community Center (127 Pulpito) from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm; Coco's Kitchen (122 Pulpito); or by clicking here.

Telemann Recorder Ensemble

On Sunday, April 29, at 3:30 pm, the  Boutique Theatre Performing Arts Centre will host the premier performance of the newly formed Telemann Recorder Ensemble, whose beguilingly sweet music focuses on this popular family of instruments, dating as far back as the 15th century. An obsession of King Henry the Eighth, who owned 76 recorders over his lifetime, and the inspiration for several Bach and Handel compositions, recorders are enjoying a resurgence in popularity throughout the world.

The unique aspect of this afternoon concert is not only entertainment but "edutainment" as well.

The newly formed Telemann Recorder Ensemble (named after Georg Telemann, one of the most prolific composers of the Baroque period who wrote more music for recorders than any of his contemporaries, will entertain and educate theatre-goers in a lovely afternoon concert, complete with English tea and sweets, provided by caterer Kathy Overly.

Adeptly switching instruments within the recorder family, the Ensemble will present a wide variety of music from 13th Century Spanish Cantigas and 16th Century Tudor Trios, to 20th Century Ragtime.

Bringing this musical experience to Vallarta are veteran entertainers: Sharon Baughman-White, who has long shared her musical and vocal talents in the Vallarta Chamber Orchestra, where she played violin, and on-stage at various local theatres, where she has produced many original musical reviews;  Kathy Overly, oboe player and singer extraordinaire, who will provide keyboard accompaniment in select numbers; David White, singer, actor and violist in the Vallarta Chamber Orchestra, who will add percussion instruments and string parts as needed, and talented newcomers Zuria Fucuy and Daniel Oliveros.

Zuria, a fine flautist, comes from Guadalajara, and played with the Orquesta Sinfonica Juvenil de Gudalajara. Daniel, an exceptional clarinetist and conductor, comes from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon and used to perform in the Youth Symphony there ( Orquesta Sinfonica Juvenil de Nuevo Leon). Both Zuria and Daniel are instructors in the newly formed Orquesta Escuela de Puerto Vallarta, a project sponsored by "Via Cultural" (an organization that promotes arts and culture in Puerto Vallarta).

Be sure not to miss this entertaining afternoon concert and tea.

Tickets, including refreshments, are 250 pesos. They are available for purchase at: NV Bookstore (216 Basilio Badillo); on line; or at Boutique Theatre two hours prior to the concert.  For more information call 044-322-728-6878.

Boutique Theatre Performing Arts Centre is located at 330 Naranjo in Old Town Vallarta.
