Redwood Tango Ensemble is hosting a concert and milonga
in San Francisco! A one-time event not to be missed!
RTE has been in that liminal state moving towards
contemporary and original tango music, with both an ear towards the current
tango scene in Argentina and a personal style developed here in the SF Bay
Area.
The group was a recent recipient of a composition grant
through the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music Musical Grant Program, a
positive and forward-thinking force for the arts in the bay. Bandoneonist
Charles Gorczynski wrote six new pieces for the ensemble that push the
musicians in wildly new directions, and that look to bridge the gap between
contemporary tango and original/local chamber music composition.
After the new works we will clear the chairs and host a
milonga (tango social dance) with both live traditional tango sets and DJ,
including a short class with Homer and Cristina Ladas. All are welcome here,
dancers and listeners, this is a celebration!
8pm-8:40: Concert of new works
8:40-9:10: Lesson with Homer and Cristina Ladas
9:10-11:30: Live music milonga! With DJ Homer Ladas
Cost: $10 - $15 suggested donation
