Presented in a cabaret-type format and atmosphere, guests can enjoy food and drinks while being entertained by some of the finest talent from NYC and abroad. "Tablao Flamenco” re-creates the experience of being in a flamenco club, or ‘tablao’, in Spain, to the delight of local audiences.
Tablao Flamenco is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council. This program is also made possible (in part) by the Queens Council on the Arts, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and with support from The JP Morgan Chase Foundation.
