DONATIONS / SUPPORT
Minnesota Tango Music Festival is an annual festival event of Twin Cities Tango Collective, an organization dedicated to cultivating local tango music culture in Minneapolis and St Paul. Year-round we host three orchestras: a community ensemble open to all, an audition based ensemble, and a professional orchestra. We create scores, events, concerts, milongas, and host guest teachers to learn the style and technique of Argentine tango music. We create positive and inclusive environments: welcoming rehearsals, engaging classes, and regular performance opportunities. These shared resources and scores are open for anyone to cultivate their own small projects, and since our inception in 2021 our community has hosted over 100 musicians.
This festival is a grassroots production, funded entirely through ticket sales and donations. Our organization is deeply grateful for any donation of any size, each goes a long way towards our goals of rooting tango music into the fabric of our cities. The funds are used to cover costs of venues, equipment, guest artists, musicians, score production, live sound, and production, which in turn supports the outreach and events necessary for attracting/cultivating new musicians, bands, dancers, and teachers at the local level. Twin Cities Tango Collective is fiscally-sponsored by Springboard For The Arts, and all donations are tax-deductible. If you appreciate what we are building and have the means to contribute, please consider making one!
