COMMUNITY TANGO ENSEMBLE

Community Tango Ensemble can be any size up to 25 musicians, and welcomes musicians that play piano, upright bass, guitar, bandoneon, accordion, violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, or saxophone. During a season, the ensemble rehearses at the Center For Performing Arts in Minneapolis on Wednesday nights. Our group works on 3-4 tangos each season, welcoming new vocalists each time, and performs them for both a seated concert and milonga (tango social dance) to celebrate at the end. CTE has become a center for meeting other enthusiasts, musicians, dancers, friends interested in tango music. We support the growth of outside tango projects through performance opportunity and resource sharing.
