Incorporating a wide array of musical styles in his compositions, Mr. del Monte creates a unique sound and language of flamenco that is both steeped in tradition, and progressive in its openness to musical flavors from around the world. His concert performances include appearances at The Dorothy Chandler Pavillion and The Hollywood Bowl, among other U.S. venues, as well as in spain, Venezuela, Russia and Israel. Mr. del Monte is also a faculty member at the USC Thornton School of Music.
