For tickets visit ccpvb.org, call Jennifer Jordan at 904-280-0614 Ext. 1202, or email [email protected] Gaitán gives a unique performance with a universal vision of Spain through the gestures of the musical movement and its most significant elements, such as dance, flamenco and the popular elements that make it unique. Each piece is evidence of these ingredients with an international language like a trip through the Iberian geography via the hand of composers such as Tturina, Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, and Manuel de Falla. As the latter said in his “Piéces Espagnoles,” this work aims to show the “Spanish race.” Dec 6 @ 6:45 pm – 8:30 pm Castillo de San Marcos National Monument will host special evening tours at 1 South Castillo Drive, St. Augustine, for a special look into the Siege of 1740.

Nonrefundable tickets will be available on a first come, first serve basis, beginning on November 22nd, and may be purchased at the ticket booth or by phone by calling (904) 829-6506 ext. 239, Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

In 1740, the continued existence of St. Augustine was in doubt. British General James Oglethorpe laid siege and was poised to run the Spanish from the city. Citizens – terrified about the possibility of losing their homes – clung to the hope that the Spanish forces would strike a blow from the Castillo that would send the English invaders away. A desperate plan was conceived to attack the British occupiers of Fort Mose. In partnership with the St. Augustine Garrison, on the evening of Friday, December 6th, staff and volunteers in 18th century period clothing will tell the stories of St. Augustine on the brink of its destiny. Visitors will experience the evening before the Fort Mose counterattack, and learn about life in the town during the siege as the cannon fire away at the British on Anastasia Island. During the tours, visitors and local residents will hear the Castillo’s cannons fire multiple times between 6:45pm – 9:00pm.

They are fascinated with the vast possibilities of colored pencil. Our Chapter also sponsors workshops with nationally-known artists to help us learn new techniques and refine our skills.
