CANCELLED

Escualo Quintet & Gabriela Vermelho
The Spirit Of Tango

WE ARE SORRY! THE CONCERT IS CANCELLED DUE TO HEALTH REASONS.

The Spirit Of Tango concert project brings a fascinating view of the world of Argentine tango. Its protagonists are the excellent instrumentalists of the Escualo Quintet and the singer, actress and extraordinary personality of the Czech music scene, Gabriela Vermelho. The Escualo Quintet is a unique formation of energetic professional instrumentalists who dedicate themselves to Argentine tango music. The group has performed at several prestigious international festivals. In terms of instruments the Escualo Quintet is identical to the quintet of Argentine composer and musician Astor Piazzolla.

In its interpretation of Argentine tango the Escualo Quintet focuses on a combination of dance music styles, namely Tango Viejo, Tango Tipico, and a concert style known as Tango Nuevo, which is a fascinating synthesis of temperamental Argentinian folklore, classical music and jazz. The Escualo Quintet operates under the auspices of and has been acknowledged by the Embassy of the Argentine Republic. The quintet was named after Astor Piazzolla’s composition Escualo, which translates as shark.
