Flamenco Suite (90 mins.) is a flamenco stage work created by Latin Grammy–nominated choreographer Siudy Garrido with original music by award-winning composers José Luis De la Paz and Juan Parrilla. The production explores the deep roots of flamenco through traditional styles such as Seguirillas, Alegrías, Caña, and Soleá, brought to life through Garrido’s contemporary and authentic artistic vision. Known for her collaborations with Antonio Canales and Gustavo Dudamel with the LA Philharmonic, Garrido, and a masterful ensemble of musicians and dancers, she offers audiences a powerful and emotionally resonant journey into the heart of flamenco.
Siudy Garrido, born in Venezuela and based in Florida, is a visionary artist and award-winning choreographer who blends tradition with innovation, creating performances that resonate beyond conventional flamenco. Hailed globally by audiences and critics as “mesmerizing,” “first-class,” “perfection,” and “a queen,” her dynamic artistry transforms flamenco into a living language of movement and sound.
After sold-out performances at Geffen Hall, Lincoln Center; The Music Station in Madrid; and Teatro Mayor in Bogotá, Garrido’s audience continues to grow. Her collaborations include work with the LA Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel and guest starring on international tours with bachata superstar Romeo Santos.
Her early career included principal roles with Antonio Canales’ Ballet Flamenco and Adrián Galia’s Flamenco Company. In 2000, she founded the Siudy Garrido Flamenco Company, debuting original productions acclaimed for innovation, musicality, and theatricality. Her first international engagement was 80 performances of Caminos Flamencos at Disney World’s Epcot Center.
Garrido’s approach has led to collaborations with the Aspen Music Festival, Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival, Pittsburgh Opera, Cirque du Soleil, and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. Highlights include restaging Amor Brujo at the Hollywood Bowl, commissioned by the LA Phil, and national exposure on NBC’s World of Dance. She has also collaborated with El Cigala and Alejandro Sanz.
Throughout her career, Garrido has remained committed to expanding flamenco’s expressive possibilities, merging tradition, contemporary aesthetics, and original musical collaboration to shape a multidimensional vision of the art form.
Led by Siudy Garrido, the Company offers an exciting, provocative experience for broad, diverse, multicultural audiences.
