Cantorial singer Laurie Fechter sings Ladino songs – the traditional Sephardic Jewish/Spanish dialect.  Guest Sephardic musicians The Noga Group bring traditional Sephardic Jewish music.  Experience the powerful story of the Sephardim and see why La Gata of Flamenco Buzz (2006) said: “I’d like to see this again and again”!</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Princeton Regional Schools Performing Arts Center/Trego Biancosino Auditiorium, 51 Moore Street, Princeton, NJ 08540</B></div> <div> To order tickets call the Alborada Box Office: 732-416-1647 (credit card and check).  Tickets may also be purchased at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts/Arts Council of Princeton office, 102 Witherspoon Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 (cash or check only)<B>.</B></div> <div> <B>Tickets: General Seating $20, Arts Council Members/Group rate $18, Seniors/Students $15</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>A Taste of Spain: The Wines, Dances and Music of Spain</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>A Benefit for the Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Sponsored by Joe Canal's Discount Liquor OUTLET.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>October 23, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m.</B></div> <div> <B>Tickets: $45</B></div> <div> <B>Joe Canal's Discount Liquor Outlet</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>489 Route 1 South, Iselin, NJ 08830.  Website: www.ultimatewineshop.com</B></div> <div> <B>To reserve tickets, please call Joe Canal's at 732-726-0077.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Learn about the cultural traditions of Spain - its wines, foods, dances and music at this unique event hosted by Joe Canal's Discount Liquor Outlet on behalf of Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre.  You will enjoy sampling Spain's regional wines with the expert staff of Joe Canal's while you listen to Classical Spanish Guitar by Anthony Sloan and nibble on tapas from Little Spain Restaurant.  Also featuring flamenco, regional and classical dances from Spain performed by dancers of the Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre.  This "tasty" event will also offer a silent auction for 2 Waterford "Celebration" Toasting Flutes (valued at $150) and more!  Alborada is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization; ticket price is partially tax deductible.  Note: All attendees of this event must be of legal drinking age (21 years old or older); Photo identification for age verification may be requested. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</B></div> <bR> <div> Donations checks can be made payable to Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre, please mail to 55 Piersoll Rd, Old Bridge, NJ 08857.  Contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.  Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre is a charitable organization under section 510 (c) 3.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
