Craig Ogden joins forces with the award-winning Serbian Classical Accordionist, Miloš Milivojević, bringing together their expertise in diverse worlds of music, with breathtaking arrangements of Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Piazzolla, and more.
The London Tango Quintet is a unique group of five internationally acclaimed musicians who have been performing tango music at the highest level for nearly 20 years. The group includes guitar virtuoso Craig Ogden (Classic FM recording artist) and accordionist Miloš Milivojević (as heard on Strictly Come Dancing!). These five exceptional musicians will be performing some of the most popular works by the king of Argentinian tango Astor Piazzolla. Amongst the intoxicating rhythms and jaw-dropping virtuosity of the tango, there will be solos and duos ranging from Spanish fire to cool Parisian jazz.

Baroque elegance collides with Latin fire in this electrifying concert from the acclaimed Orchestra of the Swan.

Glorious Baroque masterpieces meet the sultry rhythms and smoky passion of Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires – a work of dazzling flair and irresistible energy.
From sparkling virtuosity to the pulse of the tango, Fandango! is a celebration of brilliance, drama and sheer musical exhilaration.

In 1921 a tango scene in Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse propelled a young Rudolf Valentino to global stardom. Ever since, film makers have used the dance to express the tensions, hidden desires and threats of violence between their characters. The London Tango Quintet’s programme features tangos from the silver screen with Piazzolla’s Libertango and Oblivion and the golden era classics, La cumparsita and Por una cabeza.
