When four
classically trained musicians explore their passion
for tango, the result is nothing short of
delightful. Quartango takes tango in new
directions, with impeccable arrangements,
unexpected allusions to classical music and a dose
of humour, woven together by the elegant interplay
of ensemble playing at its best. The chemistry
between the musicians and their engaging rapport
with the audience create a memorable experience
that always brings down the house.

set by Schubert. In the second half you can expect

I were a Rich Man', 'Bring Him Home' and 'Some
Enchanted Evening'. There will be folk and more
popular songs like Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' or
'Sixteen Tons' by Merle Travis. Aaron Copland's 'I
Bought Me A Cat' and even 'Home on The Range' may
be on the program.
