The Emory TangoFest is an opportunity for participants and students to engage directly with the dance, music, and poetry of tango. The Emory University Symphony Orchestra and the Emory Wind Ensemble, both under the direction of Paul Bhasin, will join forces with Donna and Marvin Schwartz Artists-in-Residence Argentine pianist and composer Sonia Possetti and Argentine violinist and composer Damian Bolotin to perform a grand joint concert. As a part of this wonderful residency, these artists-in-residence will offer two hands-on masterclasses/rehearsals and a collaborative chamber concert with students in MUS/DANC 211 Tango: Argentina’s Art Form.
A milonga (tango social dance) will cap off the TangoFest on Saturday night November 23 at 9 PM and in the Performing Arts Studio. Hosted by Atlanta tango dancers Shelly Brooks and Clint Rauscher, the milonga is free and open to the public.
