Ensemble Tangueando

Ensemble Tangueando brings together flute, bandoneon and piano in a distinctive combination. The flute, an instrument used in early tango, contributes the colours of classical music; the bandoneon is emblematic of the music of Buenos Aires; and the piano completes the ensemble. Following a period of study, and with a commitment to continually developing its repertoire, the group performs dance music from the historical tango tradition—including works by Bardi, Demare, Gardel, Pugliese, Troilo and Villoldo—for milongas, alongside concert programmes devoted to some of Astor Piazzolla’s most representative works. The ensemble has performed at numerous milongas and concerts.

A prizewinner in national and international competitions, he has collaborated with musicians including Nigel Rogers, Fabio Biondi and Gaetano Nasillo.
