Baroque Tango Sequel

Melodies of Desire, Passion, and Fire

Back by popular demand, The Bach Society of Minnesota, led by Associate Artistic Director Marco Real-d’Arbelles, teams up with the Twin Cities-based Charles Gorczynski Tango Quartet for part two of Baroque Tango. This concert explores the many twists and turns that bring these two musical languages closer than we imagined. Audiences will feel the push and pull between old and new styles of works as special guest tango dancers join the ensembles on stage, adding to the passion and rhythmic drive of music by masters of tango and baroque.

This event is part of the Outside the Box series. The focus of this series is to create dialogue and collaboration with artists inside and outside the Western European classical tradition based in Minnesota.
