Tango Musicality Workshops with Erskine Maytorena and the
Q Tango Orchestra
Whitney Arts Center: 591 Whitney Ave, New Haven, CT
Created in July, 2009 by Erskine Maytorena, a third generation tango musician and opera singer, QTANGO performs authentic Argentine tango arrangements throughout the U.S. Specializing in the traditional tango music of the "Golden Age" of the great Argentine tango orchestras, QTANGO's dynamic and powerful music keeps dancers on the floor and listeners enthralled. Every song is a novella; a story of love, betrayal, desperation and hope. QTANGO's musicians give the audience a unique and intimate experience, a journey into the romance, passion and elegance of tango. Every performance is sophisticated, engaging, nostalgic, and moving.
