Curriculum Vitae
Phoebe Vernier “ La Fibi ”
Flamenco Artist and Producer
OBJECTIVE:
FLAMENCO! LIVE! was envisioned, conceived and has thrived since 2002 in Sonoma County, California. Presenting the collaborative efforts of the Bay Area's finest Flamenco Singers, Guitarists and Dancers, and supporting local Flamenco students, dreamers, and talents, our goal has been to present top notch instruction and performances. Phoebe Vernier "La Fibi" has brought decades of artistry and energy to the public for the purpose of sharing the music, song and dance, the treasure of Southern Spain. Whether in the classroom, formal theater or in a casual setting, the respect, purity and integrity of this traditional, yet living and evolving art form, is always foremost.
