Folks, The registration for the Boston Tango Festival is heating up now. We continue to get numerous registrations daily. At this rate we might match or even surpass our participation last year. We want to thank the numerous people from around the country who have already registered, and remind the rest of you to pre-register through this Friday, 10 June, to take advantage of the discounted pre-registration price. To register, go to www.bostontangofestival.com, or call 617-413-2981 or 617-721-4872. You may also send a check and list of your preferred packages to: Tango Society of Boston, PO Box 390055, Cambridge, MA 02139-0055.
Don't forget that if you are one of the first 50 people to purchase a 5-day SUPERPASS, you will get a free Boston Tango Festival T-Shirt. Don't sit on the sidelines, come to America's oldest and most beautiful city on the northeast and celebrate Tango with us next week from Wednesday through Sunday (15-19 June). If you are not convinced yet, below are additional reasons why you should consider coming to Boston: 1. Learn with Broadway Calibre Stars: Miriam Larici & Hugo Patyn of Forever Tango, Daniela Arcuri & Armando Orzuza from Evita, Assassination Tango & Backstage Tango, Hector Falcon of Tango Buenos Aires, Milonga Master Omar Vega and Virginia Kelly. 2. 5 Nightly Milongas--4 on land, 1 on Atlantic Ocean: All Land milongas are held at the Zero Arrow Theatre of Harvard University's Tony Award Winning A.R.T. (American Repertory Theatre). The milonga at sea will occur on the night close to full moon so we will be calling this the Moonlight Milonga (Friday). 3. Sample the renown local experts, some of whom have established reputations beyond Boston: Tova and Carlos Moreno, formerly of Baltimore, now residents of Boston, Fernanda Cajide of Argentina, Hillary Ross, Analinda Marcus, Simonida Cekovic-Vuletic, Ron Gursky & Nancy Murphy, and Shahrukh Merchant. The Kaleidoscope of talent and beauty will showcase to the world that Argentine Tango is indeed here in Boston to stay. 4. Live Music and Internationally Renown DJs: What about musicians, you ask? Our prestigeous list of guest musicians includes Hector del Curto on the Bandoneon, Pablo Aslan on the Contrabass, Octavio Brunetti on the Piano, and of course, to help us kick things off at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts on 11 June, the divine voice of Katie Viqueira. This year, we are also proud to add nationally and internationally renown Guest Professional DJs whose tandas have inspired dancers from coast to coast and across international borders. Many have mixed tandas beyond their hometown milongas and at well-attended festivals. These include Robin Thomas, Keith Elshaw, Shahrukh Merchant & Tine Herreman. You won't miss a beat with music by these prominent DJs. We continue to accept sponsors and vendors.
