SUMMARY:Ottmar Liebert
DESCRIPTION: wednesday July 15  7 pm doors / 8 pm showtime   Ottmar Li
	ebert  (Flamenco) all ages   ON SALE NOW Liebert’s incredible global s
	uccess on a musical level often seems like a simple outgrowth of his c
	ultural background and powerful wanderlust in his formative years. Bor
	n in Cologne\, Germany to Chinese-German father and Hungarian mother\,
	 he began playing guitar at 11\, and traveled extensively through Euro
	pe and Asia intent on fully absorbing each musical tradition he encoun
	tered. After pursuing his Rock and Roll dreams first in his native Ger
	many and then in Boston\, he abandoned the frustrations of the East co
	ast and settled in Santa Fe\, New Mexico.  By 1989\, he had founded th
	e first incarnation of his new band Luna Negra. Nouveau Flamenco began
	 life as a self-produced local release called Marita: Shadows and Stor
	ms\, copies of which local Indian artist Frank Howell distributed in h
	is art galleries. When the record found its way to radio stations and 
	began generating a buzz among programmers and an unprecedented respons
	e among listeners\, Higher Octave Music picked it up and released a fu
	lly remastered version.  “I was honestly happy playing this music in h
	otels and restaurants in Santa Fe\, and going in one year from doing t
	hat to opening for Miles Davis was a pretty intense jump\,” he recalls
	. “Most shocking for me was to realize how many different people from 
	so many diverse cultures embraced it. I still get letters from fans in
	 Europe\, South-America\, Australia\, and Asia...it’s been a really gr
	atifying experience. I’ve had the opportunity to play in a wide variet
	y of cultural settings with musicians from around the world\, and that
	 has been a great experience\, too.” Sound Check  Liebert has since be
	come one of the most successful instrumental artists of the past decad
	e\, thrilling audiences throughout the world and releasing a catalog o
	f classic recordings\, including the remix collection Euphoria (1995)\
	, the live album Viva! (1995)\, the double CD Opium (1996) and the cla
	ssical-oriented orchestral album Leaning into the Night (1997). He wra
	pped up his decade with Epic with 2001’s Little Wing and went back to 
	Higher Octave Music\, releasing a lush album of lullabies called In th
	e Arms of Love in 2002 and an album with Luna Negra XL called The Sant
	a Fe Sessions (2003).  La Semana (2004) was the first all-new band alb
	um in five years\, followed by Winter Rose (2005)\, which featured ori
	ginal pieces\, classical music and christmas songs. In 2006 Liebert's 
	record label SSRI released One Guitar\, his first solo guitar recordin
	g\, which received Liebert's fourth nomination for a Grammy. His newes
	t releases are Up Close (2008)\, which is a binaural dummy head surrou
	nd sound recording\, and The Scent of Light (2008) a labor of five yea
	rs. Presented by The Rialto Theatre $31 Gold/$27 reserve seated floor$
