The Sol y Sombra Dance Company will perform a concert of classical Spanish and Flamenco music and dance at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on Saturday, September 26, at 7 p.m. in Berkner Hall.

This concert is made possible in part by grants from the New York State Arts Council‘s Decentralization Program, the Suffolk County Office of Cultural Affairs, and a community grant from Suffolk County Legislator Vivian Viloria-Fisher.
