A CENTURY OF TANGO AOTANGO QUINTET
Featuring some of New Zealand’s top musicians If you’re looking for something a little different to do in Wānaka this April, A Century of Tango might be just the ticket. Performed by the Aotango Quintet, this concert offers a relaxed but richly musical journey through the world of tango. The group performs in the classic quintet style made famous by Argentinian maestro Ástor Piazzolla, traversing the evolution of tango from beloved classics such as Ángel Villoldo’s El Choclo, and Gerardo Matos Rodríguez’s La Cumparsita to the revolutionary nuevo tango compositions of Piazzolla.
FOR SALE
The quintet itself brings together some of New Zealand’s top musicians – Andrew Beer (violin), Lorelle McNaughton (piano), Gordon Hill (double bass), Sam Swindells (guitar), and Grayson Masefield (accordion).
