First videos of a new collaboration! "(Re)Discovering Tango" with Argentinian bandoneon virtuoso JP Jofre.

Live performance from Dumbarton Concerts in Washington, DC.

We are excited to join forces with acclaimed Argentinian bandoneon performer and composer, JP Jofre, for a globe-spanning program of music exploring Tango’s international routs as well as its contemporary expression in Jofre’s original compositions.

Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges said of the Tango that it “Converts the outrage of the years into a music.” This program tells the story of the Tango over the years, as different cultures fused together to create its special character. Spanish music, African dances, and Italian Opera set the scene in the first half, while the second half showcases the possibilities that Tango presents today, with music for Bandoneon and Piano Trio by JP Jofre.
