Saturday May 30, 2026

Workshop I - Canaro

Phrasing and the understanding the composition of tango music is crucial before learning anything else musical. The bread & butter of tango: pure, simple, steady and essential.

Workshop II - Di Sarli

All satisfying flavors of tango in one orchestra, all we actually need is his music. We will dive in to Melody, Rhythm, Dynamics and Timbre.

Sunday May 31, 2026

Workshop III - D’Arienzo & Biagi

D’Arienzo with Biagi on the side – a bit sharper, with rhythmic punch. Today we go in to further flavors. Biagi can be mischievous, difficult sometimes. We will get to tease him back.

Workshop IV - Pugliese

Rich, layered and expressive.  A bold finish to the journey. This is the workshop on expressivity and the ability to share emotions.
