QuinTango Artists in Residence March 13-17, 2023

This spring MVCMS welcomes QuinTango! - a world renowned group of musicians and educators - as our
Artists in Residence in Island schools. 


QuinTango will give a Free Public Concert on Friday, March 17 at the MVRHS Performing Arts Center 
with Guest Dancers Analia Centurion and Svetislav Vuletic.


We are pleased to have the generous support of our friends at The Yard during this week
  as they present community tango lessons (see below) and a mini-tango lesson for the audience/public
after Friday night's concert with Tango Master Analia Centurion .



QuinTango Members include:
  • Regino Madrid, violin
  • Joan Singer, violin
  • Susanna Mendlow, cello and voice    
  • Ali Cook, bass and voice
  • Emmanuel Trifilio, bandoneon*
  • Julie Huang Tucker, piano and voice

QuinTango’s six musicians are top-notch classical instrumentalists whose distinctive “chamber tango” style blends intimacy and bravado with passion and precision. At home on concert stages, jazz venues or living rooms, these five women and their male bandoneon* player are redefining tango with original compositions and new takes on great classics. From the White House to Buenos Aires, festivals in Europe and South America to school rooms in Appalachia, QuinTango’s music and personal narratives make lasting connections with every performance.

QuinTango partners with local communities wherever they perform. They have collaborated with public schools, libraries, a half-way house for women parolees, community centers, hospitals, and art galleries. QuinTango has worked with Mayan villages in Guatemala and Mexico, string orchestras in Costa Rica and France, and professional musicians in Campeche, Mexico.
 
These adventurous chamber musicians bridge cultures and dismantle stereotypes with their stories, performances, recordings and multi-generational, multi-cultural presence. Powered by passion, they are connecting the world one tango at a time.
 

*The bandoneon is a type of concertina particularly popular in Argentina and Uruguay. It is a typical instrument in most tango ensembles.
