The Art of Tango: POSTPONED

Performing repertoire from tango’s Golden Era and beyond, this twelve-piece orchestra features strings, piano, double bass and 3 bandoneóns, the essential symbol of Argentinean tango. Enriched by the charming voice of Argentinean-born vocalist Juan Veron, these dedicated musicians bring the great names of tango to life—Aníbal Troilo, Osvaldo Pugliese and Carlos De Sarli. Doing away with cliché, the Melbourne Tango Orchestra is contemporary, urban, dynamic, lyrical and romantic.

The MTO is excited to be joined by 'Levitation'. Lead by one of Australia's great exponents of the guitar, Ken Murray has developed a singular path, combining performance, composition, teaching and research. He has championed and recorded Spanish music from the early twentieth century, worked extensively with contemporary composers and has been active as a performer of Brazilian and South American musical styles. As a composer he has written a variety of works for guitar in solo and ensemble settings.

Also joining us onstage will be professional tango dancers Doni and Renee from TangoMelbourne to dazzle you with their sophisticated, sensual and seductive moves that will leave you breathless.
