Dinner Concert with the incomparable guitarist Luis Quintero

PALM BEACH — Luis Quintero, the internationally famous
Venezuelan guitarist who just recently played here be-
fore he went on a tour in Mexico, has been coming to
play in Aruba regularly since 2005 and has developed
a profound love for our island and its people. When ap-

The Aruba Symphony Festival and Academy is an inter-

musicians from around the globe make Aruba their des-
tination. During these 12 intensive days of music-making,
guest artists and students from more than 15 countries
give the happy island an unforgettable experience with
full-house concerts, workshops, conferences and classes
led by celebrated international artists. Most of these con-
certs are FREE and the organization would like to keep it
that way to be accessible for all.

The concert takes place on December 14 starting at 7 pm
