The River Pierce Foundation is proud to present an upcoming Flamenco Guitar Concert featuring Grisha Goryachev on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at the Trevino-Uribe Fort located at 604 Trevino in San Ygnacio, Texas. Doors will open at 4 pm.  The concert will begin at 5 pm.  

Enjoy a night under the stars at this outdoor concert at our historic fort located on the banks of the Rio Grande River.  This intimate concert is free and open to the public.  We ask that everyone RSVP to this one-of-a-kind outdoor musical event. Limited seating is available (seating will be on a first come, first served basis).

Come experience Goryachev’s ability to blend the precision of classical music with the fiery passion of flamenco. Grisha’s performances are not just concerts; they are a journey through the rich history and vibrant soul of flamenco. 

Grisha hails from St. Petersburg, Russia, and is renowned for his extraordinary classical and flamenco guitar talent. Beginning his musical journey at the age of six under the guidance of his father, Grisha quickly emerged as a child prodigy. By nine, he was already performing in prestigious concert halls across the Soviet Union, captivating audiences with his technical brilliance and emotional depth. 

Grisha’s passion for flamenco deepened during a transformative tour of Spain, where he was invited to play for flamenco legend Paco de Lucía. Impressed by Grisha’s artistry, de Lucía personally supported his application for an American visa for “Extraordinary Ability,” enabling him to share his unique blend of flamenco and classical guitar with audiences in the United States.  Now based in the U.S., Grisha is one of the few guitarists committed to reviving the tradition of solo flamenco guitar, a practice once mastered by legends like Ramón Montoya and Sabicas. 

*We kindly ask that during Grisha's performance cell phone use will be strictly prohibited. No recording or live streaming will be allowed. No photos will be allowed to be taken during the concert. Photos will only be allowed to be taken after the concert.*

In case of inclement weather, the concert will be moved to the Henry M. Martinez Community Center located at 24 FM 3169, San Ygnacio, Texas 78069.
