On September 18th, The Daughters of Sophia performed with the Alborada Spanish Dance Theater and The Tisza Ensemble of Hungarian dancers in "The Feast of Sarah: A Gypsy Festival".   Alborada is one of the finest Flamenco dance companies in the U.S. and regularly imports artists from Spain and elsewhere to enhance their already superb performances.
