Esteban Coming To Las Cruces

  The Rio Grande Theatre, managed by the Doña Ana Arts Council, proudly presents internationally renowned guitar virtuoso Esteban, direct from Sedona, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada.  A chart-topping success with roots in Flamenco, Classical, Jazz and Rock ‘n’ Roll, to name only a few genres, the six-string instrumentalist will return to the Rio Grande Theatre stage with his daughter, “violinist extraordinaire” Teresa Joy, for a magnificent evening of music on Sunday, July 24 at 6:00 p.m. 

Esteban is looking forward to a return visit to Las Cruces after he delighted a sold-out crowd in October of 2014 at the Rio Grande Theatre.  A graduate of Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University and the student of Andres Segovia – known as the father of the modern classical guitar movement – Esteban has been topping the charts with rapid guitar runs alternated with richly evocative romanticism since the mid-90s. With over a dozen albums to his credit and Teresa Joy accompanying him on stage, Esteban has become known for live set lists that run the gamut from traditional to pop, or, as he himself is fond of saying, “from 4,000 BC to the present.”

So entertaining is the accomplished guitarist, the Las Vegas Review-Journal proclaimed Esteban is “absolutely mesmerizing in scope and talent,” while the Tampa Tribune praised his “artistic ability to take old rock favorites and weave them into rich jazz and classical notes creating an unforgettable entertainment experience.”

The Rio Grande Theatre is located at 211 N. Main Street, in Las Cruces.  Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the performance begins at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $22 - $32 for adults and $12 - $17 for children 12 and under (final price; all fees included).  Tickets may be purchased on-line at www.RioGrandeTheatre.com, by phone at (575) 523-6403, or in person at the Rio Grande Theatre Box Office, 2nd Floor, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Student rush tickets will be made available 10 minutes before show time at $12 with valid student ID.  For more information visit the website or call (575) 523-6403.
