"WOW...simply, utterly. Such a rich and diverse production of flamenco components. We were enthralled. "

Following a sold-out 2025 tour, this vibrant flamenco ensemble takes to the stage with returning special guests – Spanish flamenco singer and percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi” and Vancouver flamenco guitarist Peter Mole – for an intimate evening of flamenco dance, guitar, piano, and song.

Flamenco dancers Claire Marchand, Jane Ogilvie, and Rosanna Terracciano have explored their own creative trajectories since meeting years ago as emerging dancers. Now, as established artists, each has played an integral role in establishing a flamenco presence in Western Canada. Their paths have crossed as artists, colleagues, and friends in many ways over the years.

In 2023, they decided it was time to formally create a project where they would have the chance to collaborate. Their first project “Flamenco at the Yardbird” was presented to a sold out audience in 2024 with invited guests, Vancouver flamenco guitarist and dance accompanist Peter Mole and Spanish singer Celedonio Garrido. In 2025, they returned to the Yardbird for two nights, with a new performance including returning guitarist Peter Mole and new guest Spanish singer/percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi”, taking the show on the road to their hometowns of Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg, to rave reviews.

Experience the mesmerizing interaction of soulful singing, intricate guitar, percussive footwork and expressive dance of the flamenco “tablao”, with the special addition of flamenco piano. Expect the magical intensity, improvisation and inspiration that can only be felt in the live encounter of flamenco artists.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Francisco Orozco “Yiyi” (Song/Percussion) is from an Andalusian family. Born in Barcelona, he was introduced to flamenco rhythms at the tender age of four and was trained by his father, flamenco singer “Joselón de Jerez”. He began his professional career at the age of twelve and performs internationally.

Claire Marchand (Dance), known for her theatrical, singular style, has performed across Canada and internationally.

Peter Mole’s (Guitar) raw yet lyrical guitar style comes alive when accompanying dance. He recently released his debut album “La Luna y el Viento.”

Jane Ogilvie (Dance, Piano) is a 2023 recipient of the Edmonton Artist's Trust Fund Award for dance and a lifelong pianist.

Rosanna Terracciano (Dance), winner of the Jacqueline Lemieux Prize, has been presented throughout Canada and Europe, including at the Bienal de Flamenco (Seville).
