QuinTango

Experience QuinTango and experience the stories, the culture, and the exhilaration of tango!

* Due to the easing of Covid restrictions on indoor gatherings, this concert will be held indoors, in the beautiful sanctuary at Grace Church in The Plains! Face masks required.*

This is tango like you’ve never imagined it: classical chops, jazz harmonies, and intimate arrangements written for the group by outstanding composers in Buenos Aires. ‘Chamber tango’ is the result of this musical alchemy, a middle ground that draws in lovers of both classical and non-classical music to experience the fullness of life—the stories, the culture, and the exhilaration of tango.
