Extra Super! BIG Daily: Las Vegas

VEGAS CHANGES EVERY DAY. KEEP UP.

Local news. Business. Food. Sports. Things to do. Nightlife. Vegas life. One quick show every morning.

Follow once. Get Vegas every morning.

Seventy-five seats. That is the whole room on Saturday.

El Camino: A Musical Journey plays the Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum on Saturday, November 14, from 5 to 7 p.m. It is the second concert in RDA Performs season two, titled Movement, and there is no big hall energy here.

You sit close, surrounded by art, and you hear every string. Honestly, that is the entire appeal, and it works.

A Guitar, Two Flutes, and a Road Through Latin America

Internationally renowned classical guitarist Ricardo Cobo leads the program. He is joined by Christina Castellanos, principal flutist of the Las Vegas Philharmonic and a returning RDA Performs favorite, and Rayo Furuta, praised by Informador de Guadalajara as "the rockstar of the flute."

The idea is the road. El Camino traces movement through rhythm, memory, place and cultural imagination, with tango, windswept melodies and kaleidoscopic sound worlds from Latin America.

Dr. Alexandria Le curated the series and serves as its artistic director. The Las Vegas native and concert pianist said, "I'm especially thrilled to welcome audiences to this second season."

Season two runs four intimate concerts on select Saturdays between September and April. El Camino is concert two, so you are catching the season while it is still building.

The Room Is Half the Show

The museum sits on a serene 10-acre campus in northwest Las Vegas. Inside, the 10,500-square-foot space holds Rita Deanin Abbey's work, from abstract expressionist paintings and monumental stained glass to sculpture, landscapes, figure studies, murals and enamels.

That setting changes the concert. You are not watching musicians in front of a blank wall, you are listening inside one artist's life work.

Here is the detail most people miss. For the November 14 concert, the museum will be closed to the public throughout the day for this private event, so a normal Saturday visit will not get you in.

After the music, all guests are invited to a post-concert reception with light refreshments and a celebratory champagne toast. Small room, real artists, no rushing for the exit.

Go Saturday if you can. A guitar, two flutes and 74 other people in a room full of desert art is a very Vegas kind of luxury, just the calm version.
