Come and join our Community Orquesta Tipica for a weekend of making tango music of the golden era.
Visiting Coach for our Orquesta Tipica: Mark Wyman, author of the famous 'Tango Fake Book'

The focus will be on developing our sense of the Tango Groove, the Marcato as well Tango phrasing. There will be new pieces too, focusing on the style of the band of Carlos Di Sarli, otherwise known as 'The King of Melody'.
