On March 8, The Universalist Unitarian Church of Santa Paula will open the fifth season of its popular Santa Paula Concert Series with a performance by the eminent American Flamenco guitarist, Robert Boyd.

Boyd, also known as ‘Berto’, is a Santa Barbara resident and one of California’s premiere Flamenco guitarists/composers. He has dedicated his musical dreams and professional career to the art of Flamenco, and he is recognized as one of the top composers of Flamenco music in the United States. Born into a family of artists, which includes lead singer Brandon Boyd of the multi-platinum band Incubus, Berto began his musical training at age 5 and has been studying guitar for 22 years.

A rigorous musician and careful researcher, Berto has studied in Spain and the U.S. with some of the world’s finest virtuosos. His maestros include Guillermo Rios (former guitarist for the infamous Flamenco company of Jose Greco) and Jesus Montoya (Madrid). In the United States, Berto has attended and participated in master classes with Manuel Barrueco and Gaspar Rodriguez, musical director for the National Ballet of Spain. Berto is a sought out performer for many concerts and festivals throughout California and the United States, and his performances have received rave reviews.

The concert will take place on Saturday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Universalist Unitarian Church of Santa Paula, 740 E. Main Street. Tickets are available at Nichols Gallery, 916 E. Main St., Santa Paula, 525-7804, or at the Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce, 200 N. 10th St., 525-5561. Donation is $15, and tickets may also be purchased at the door.

A wine reception will follow the concert, with an opportunity to meet the artist and purchase CDs. For further information, contact the church at 525-4647. Staff is available to answer questions Wednesday through Friday.
