Grace Church Concert Series

Experience QuinTango and experience the stories, the culture, and the exhilaration of tango!

Grace Episcopal Church

* Due to the easing of Covid restrictions on indoor gatherings, this concert will be held indoors, in the beautiful sanctuary at Grace Church in The Plains! Face masks required.*This is tango like you’ve never imagined it: classical chops, jazz harmonies, and intimate arrangements written for the group by outstanding composers in Buenos Aires. ‘Chamber tango’ is the result of this musical alchemy, a middle ground that draws in lovers of both classical and non-classical music to experience the fullness of life—the stories, the culture, and the exhilaration of tango. Over its 20-year history, QuinTango’s command performances have ranged from the White House to memorable concerts in 23 states, at venues ranging from Stanford University and Lincoln Center Plaza, to the Kennedy Center and Piccolo Spoleto in Charleston. They’ve performed at international festivals in Costa Rica and the Amalfi Coast—and toured in France, Italy, Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina and Uruguay. QuinTango not only captivates audiences with their artistry, they invite you in as one of the family, immersing listeners in the world of tango. Each tango has its own special message, introduced with surprising narratives so you can explore everything from the grief of losing a father, to the thrill of deep-sea fishing, and the poignancy of a young poet’s fate. In this music, born in the streets and made respectable in sophisticated salons, we hear the full human journey: romance, loss, heartache, and deep joy embedded in haunting melodies. With four community programs to actively engage young listeners, community is at the heart of QuinTango’s mission. StringTango, Tango/Soccer, Tango without Borders, and Mad Hot Tango have made impact in four states with funding from organizations such as Heartland, the MidAtlantic Arts Foundation, the RunningBrooke Foundation and Chamber Music America.Because it’s not just about the music. With QuinTango it’s about life: the life that we are all invited to share to the fullest. QuinTango asked its audience for feedback about their first QuinTango experience. Here’s what they said surprised them . . .“How quickly and totally I was drawn into the style and excitement of the music.”“I never expected to be so enthralled.” “I found it difficult to contain my impulse to get up and dance.”“QuinTango makes it personal. We feel part of the experience.”
