Description
Tango No. 9 warms up the intimate Red Poppy Art House in Tango for the Heart, Saturday December 15 at 8 pm.Escape the chill of winter and come bask in the warm embrace of Tango No. 9. Presenting music old and new, Tango No. 9 embarks on an exciting musical adventure, borrowing from the rich tango tapestry, beginning with the tango nuevo of Astor Piazzolla, turning to the romance and tragedy of classic tango, adding a touch of Kurt Weill, a dash of humor and a pinch of West Coast modernism.
What better way to spend the last Saturday before the winter solstice?
Tango No. 9 is:
Catharine Clune - violin
Greg Stephens - trombone
Joshua Raoul Brody - piano
Zoltan diBartolo - vocal
Tango No. 9, born in the Mission District in 1988, began by exploring where Piazzolla and jazz met. Today, it has become an all-star Bay Area ensemble, recognizable by its unique instrumentation of violin, trombone, piano, and voice. The group delves deeply into the world of tango, recording four critically acclaimed albums, presenting numerous concerts and is constantly exploring different facets of the unique Latin chamber music, the tango.
"It was easy to see that ... this ensemble has indeed fallen head over heels in love with tango. - Los Angeles Times
La dolce vita, Indeed! - San Francisco Bay Guardian
