SYNOPSIS
Did you know?
Tango dance and music originated from a fusion of European and African cultures brought to Argentina by immigrants in the late 1800s. The songs often reflected the immigrants longing for home, separation from love ones and yearning for love.
The free-reed instrument that usually leads a tango band is called a bandoneon. Unlike the piano accordion, the bandoneon has no keys but about 35 buttons on each side.
For more tango music, check out: Carlos Gardel (classic tango), Astor Piazzolla (Nuevo/”new” tango), Gotan Project (tango fusion)
The Fritz Quartet is a Singapore-based string quartet, made up of four young classically trained musicians focused on sharing their love for music and exploring new frontiers through collaborations with other artistes. In their second installment of tango music at the Concourse, they present popular tango pieces from the 1800s to the present day. The performance will explore the multi-faceted aspects of tango music, with brief introductions to the composers as well as the underlying approach to tango music.
