Al Compas Del Querer - Flamenco

Daniel Martinez brings the UK premiere of his new production, Al Compas del Querer, to Preston Playhouse on Monday 15 March. It's the latest work from the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, with Martinez himself on guitar, and it's the first time the show has been staged on this side of the Channel.

The production is built around a new album, and the title comes from compas — the rhythmic cycle that underpins flamenco. In this show, Martinez describes it as the rhythm of life itself, and every composition is dedicated to a person or a chapter of his own story. He's billed it as a deeply personal and emotionally charged journey through the life of one of flamenco's most celebrated touring artists, so it's less a standard concert and more a look at the man behind the guitar.

It's not his first time on these stages. Since 2023, the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company has put on three acclaimed UK productions: the debut album Art of Believing, which won the Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh International Festival; Andalucia, which picked up five-star reviews; and Art of Andalucia, which toured throughout 2025. Between them, they've played to over 120,000 people in the last three years, with an international following that reaches into Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland. This is the next chapter in that run.

The show runs from 19:30 to 22:00, with doors opening at 18:45. Tickets are £35 plus booking fee, and you can find them at the Preston Playhouse website.
