2nd Annual WorldBeat WeekendJuly 25th & 27th Quartango - Get Ready to Tango!Sunday, July 27th, 7:30 Quartango takes tango in new directions, with impeccable arrangements, unexpected allusions to classical music and a dose of humour, woven together by the elegant interplay of ensemble playing at its best. Quartango is Richard Hunt, piano and arrangements, Douglas Schmidt, bandoneon, René Gosselin, double bass, and Charles-Étienne Marchand, violin. Together, they offer up a repertoire ranging from the classic tangos to tango nuevo and Piazolla. They also explore other genres, from jazz and opera to waltzes and jigs, in their own inimitable style. Quartango has charmed audiences across Canada and the United States, and in Tokyo, Taipei, Paris and Sao Paulo. They stole the show at Carnegie Hall, in performance with the New York Pops, and have also appeared with the National Arts Centre Orchestra and the Orchestre Metropolitain. This past summer, Quartango performed four outdoor concerts with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, attracting a total of more than 60,000 spectators. $25
