CORO AUSTRAL presents SOLAMENTE TANGO
About
Solamente Tango will be a celebration of tango in its many forms - sung, played and danced. We will be joined by some of the finest tango names in Australia: leading tango sextet Adelante Tango with guest artist, one of Australia's top Bandoneón players, Maggie Ferguson, and dancers from Tango Spirit, led by two of Australia's finest tango teachers, Jacqueline Simpson and Anthony Miller.
We are also delighted to welcome back as guest artists Colombian soprano Paola Monroy and pianist and tango specialist Thomas McCorquodale, who both performed with us in our popular Tango concert in 2022.Coro Austral will perform a set of choral tangos, including tangos by Carlos Gardel, widely regarded as the ‘father of tango’ and the visionary Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla, who developed the tango nuevo style which revolutionised the tango by incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. Following this, we are excited to present the first Australian performance with a tango ensemble of acclaimed Argentinian composer Martín Palmieri’s Misa a Buenos Aires (MisaTango) . Our performance with Adelante Tango, together with Paola and Thomas, will bring the traditional Latin mass alive with authentic tango rhythms and harmonies.
After a short interval, the mood will change as we move to Milonga-style dancing with Tango Spirit, led by Jacqueline and Anthony and some of their top students. You will be invited to join in the dancing, or you may just enjoy the atmosphere created by Adelante Tango as they transport you to the gritty streets of Buenos Aires, led by the quintessential sound of Maggie's bandoneón!
And after the performance, ¡Vino y bocados! We invite everyone to join us for wine and refreshments.
