About the event
We are bringing world class professors from the most prestigious tango orchestra school in the world, La Orquesta Escuela de Tango, Emilio Balcarce, from Buenos Aires to the heart of San Francisco to teach the specific roles each of the instruments plays in the ensemble. The workshop will end with a concert where you will play alongside your renowned maestros and members of the SF Tango Orchestra.
You will learn to play well loved orchestral works as well as contemporary tango as it’s being played in Buenos Aires today, including new works by the maestros. Some pieces will be geared toward professional musicians, others will be accessible to amateurs. The workshop will prepare you to participate in an Orquesta Típica, and selected musicians will be offered opportunities to play with the newly formed SF Tango Orchestra.
