Flamenco Pittsburgh will host its second annual Gala Baila on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at The Original Pittsburgh Winery. The event celebrates the close of the organization’s inaugural season of performances and marks the beginning of its fall fundraising campaign to support future programming.
Gala Baila will be a 75-minute show with the Flamenco Pittsburgh Ensemble, featuring soloists Valentina Beltrán, Flor Isava-Machi, and Carolina Loyola-Garcia. Also performing will be virtuoso flamenco artists: dancer/choreographer Edwin Aparicio (Washington, D.C.), singer Bárbara Martínez (New York City), and guitarist Alex Jordan (Los Angeles).
“It has been such an incredible year of funded programming,” said Artistic Director Carolina Loyola-Garcia. “We are excited to kick off our fall fundraising with Gala Baila at the beautiful Original Pittsburgh Winery. Our goal is to continue producing exciting programs that bring flamenco’s music, song, and dance to our community — and for that, we need your support.”
Doors open at 6:00 p.m., with general admission tickets priced at $25 ($15 for students). VIP sponsorship tickets include a private reception from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m.

Flamenco Pittsburgh’s debut season as a nonprofit drew nearly 1,000 attendees and featured sold-out performances at the James Simon Sculpture Studio and the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater. The organization also performed at several community and cultural events, supported by grants from The Pittsburgh Foundation, the Arts, Equity, & Education Fund, the Opportunity Fund, and Duolingo.
