We are very excited to present our Guest Artist
Holly Blazina, Flamenco Guitarist from Calgary AB.
Guitarist Holly Blazina creates an immersive world of beauty and sound that draws in music lovers and Flamenco aficionados alike. The notes emanating from her instrument disarm unsuspecting listeners as they are ushered into an ethereal experience that is exotic, evocative, buoyant and deeply nourishing.
When first exposed to Flamenco’s passionate, soulful melodies and driving rhythms, Holly knew she had found her home musically. This quickly led to a lifelong commitment to the art form. Holly has had the good fortune of studying intensively with renowned artists both in Spain and North America. Having completed a Bachelor of Music degree in classical guitar performance in 1994, Holly loves to share her knowledge with aspiring guitarists as well as professional musicians, offering private lessons, accompaniment classes, workshops and online courses. Her original compositions have recently won awards from the Canada Council for the Arts and FACTOR.
Holly has also taken two extensive Yoga trainings totalling over 1000 hours. She has since combined her seemingly unrelated passions of Flamenco and Yoga to create A Musical Journey Through the Chakras. In this unprecedented offering, Holly performs her original music while guiding participants through rhythmic connection, profound silence and into deep meditation.
Holly produces her own public and in-home concerts, and has built a sizeable following of repeat private event clients. Her debut recording, Transcendencia, was released in October, 2017.
Holly will be teaching Flamenco Guitar Workshops in Edmonton May 24-26, 2018.
