María Elena Pacheco & Ernesto Hermoza Live in Concert

La Peña is excited to welcome 4-time Grammy-nominated guitarist and musical director for Susana Baca, Ernesto Hermoza, to our humble stage to share his artistry with us in an intimate and immersive setting.

María Elena Pacheco, renowned violinist of the Peruvian National Symphony Orchestra and the Orquesta Sinfónica de Lima, has toured Europe extensively and left a mark on Orchestras throughout Germany.

Together they form a special musical marriage that bridges the musical languages of música andina Peruana, Spanish Flamenco, and western Classical.

Enjoy an intimate evening of music and opportunity to really get to know these legendary artists through their songs, and witness a unlikely but magical duo sharing their gifts with our community.

Date: Friday, May 2nd, 2025
