TANGO ENCOUNTER: Alex Roitman Tango Ensemble

Join us on Thursday October 26th for a concert exploring various musical sub-genres within Tango, and the contribution of Jewish composers and musicians to it. Alex Roitman Tango Ensemble (ARTE) is a New England based group performing exciting authentic Argentine Tango music, for both dancers and listeners. Composed of Alex Roitman on bandoneon, Marcia Lehninger on violin, Jane Hua on piano and Leo Karmiy on double bass, the group combines strong classical skills with the extensive tango style training and individual musicality. This is primarily a concert (not all the pieces are danceable), but ample space will be provided for those who wish to dance. Similar to jazz, tango music has evolved a lot over the years. It started as simple dance music with folk roots. But then techniques and idioms that form the music language developed further and further, through the Golden Age of tango of late 30s and 40s, then the jazz influences of 50s and 60s, tango show styles of 70s and 80s and so on. From the grandeur of big orchestras to the intimacy of duos and trios to Piazzolla and other new tango composers to the present day, tango is a living and thriving genre of music. Bandleader Alex Roitman will introduce the music and speak about the Jewish composers and musicians who participatedin the evolution of the art form. Presented in partnership with Ballets Russes Arts Initiative. NOTA BENES: Doors Open at 7:00. Concert begins at 7:30. All seating except FRONT ROW is unassigned.
