Five internationally acclaimed musicians come together as the London Tango Quintet performing music by the legendary Astor Piazzolla interspersed with stunning instrumental solos.

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.

Come and share the passion of tango with these five acclaimed musicians. Formed by David Juritz, this exceptional quintet was drawn together through their love of tango. He said, ‘It’s fantastic fun, even wild at times, but that’s not to say it isn’t challenging as well. To do it justice you have to approach it just as you would any other great music – with a sense of style and your total commitment, but also leaving enough freedom to experiment. When it happens, you feel like you’ve been set free. It’s just exhilarating’. This evening includes music by Astor Piazzolla, whose work revolutionised traditional tango music, incorporating jazz and classical music elements. The programme includes Oblivion, Libertango and Muerte del Ángel.
