Chicago's own full tango orchestra will play its debut on Sunday, April 30th, 2006 beginning at 6:00 pm at the American Tango Institute (325 N. Hoyne at Carroll, Chicago). The first set of live tango music will be designed for your listening pleasure; dancing will be available during the intermission as well as during the second set. Following the second set, a DJed milonga will continue until midnight.
The 7 piece Orquesta Bohemia de Chicago is conducted by master bandoneonist Gerardo Perez. Other members of the Orquesta Bohemia include: Pawel Checinski (piano), Victoria Moreira & Vasile Ardeleanu (violins), Lliliana Wosko (cello), Lindsay Smith (viola) and Brian Doherty (bass). They will feature works by Piazzolla in addition to other traditional Argentinean and Uruguayan composers. Advance ticket purchase will be necessary for a seat at the Orquesta Bohemias premier performance, as seating will be limited to allow room for dancing in ATIs Pugliese & Piazzolla Ballroom and it is expected to sell out. A table may be purchased for $120 with 4 tickets for the evening; individual seats at a table will be $35 each. Additionally, there will be individual seats not at tables, available for purchase at $25. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Pamela Bosack at 847.962.1879/ [email protected], or visit www.AmericanTangoInstitute.com.
