ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Redwood Tango Ensemble (RTE) is a contemporary tango
sextet from Oakland, California. Led by composer and bandoneonist Charles
Gorczynski, the ensemble has developed a signature style and sound within the
world of tango composition, writing honest and imaginative music that
challenges conventional notions of genre and musical identity. RTE is a tango
group in its lifeblood, and its sound and sensibility also reach into new
music, chamber music, and modern jazz.
