Join us for our first Azure Family Concert of the season, featuring Liliana de León-Torsiello, Flamenco dancer
Liliana de León is a multidisciplinary dancer, choreographer, composer, vocalist, educator, and professor of World Dance Studies whose work blends artistry, spirituality, and cultural expression.

As the choreographer, soloist, and co-composer of “FLORYPIEDRA,” Liliana combines Flamenco with Mexican Folklórico, Latin popular dance, Latin jazz, post-modern American dance, film, lighting, and spoken word to create innovative interdisciplinary performances. In addition to producing concerts and community-based dance projects, she has taught and created works for schools, universities, festivals, and professional companies.

Presented by the Tetra String Quartet, Azure Family Concerts are free, one-hour, sensory-friendly performances designed for people of all ages with autism, developmental disabilities, sensory processing differences, and physical disabilities, along with their families and caregivers.Traditional concert settings can be challenging for audience members who communicate, regulate, or engage through vocalizations, movement, stimming, or other forms of participation. Azure concerts joyfully and intentionally welcome these behaviors, creating a warm, judgment-free space where every audience member can relax, participate, and feel that they truly belong. Family members and caregivers of all ages are encouraged to join in the fun!
This performance will feature Liliana de León-Torsiello, flamenco dancer, and will be followed by an instrument petting zoo.
Join in. Move freely. Be you!
This concert will also be live-streamed on Tetra String Quartet's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/tetrastringquartet
