At that time, Bertram was an internationally recognized virtuoso folk musician, having been featured in over a dozen albums including the Smithsonian CD compilation, "American Folk Music", and highlighted in several national broadcasts of "The Prairie Home Companion" show with Garrison Keillor. In 1991 Bertram made his first trip to Buenos Aires, acquired a bandoneon, and began his studies with Miguel Varvello. >From 1999 to 2002 he studied bandoneon in Paris with maestro Cesar Stroscio. He founded the Tangoheart Sextet in 1999. Bertram has performed with the San Francisco based Latin American Chamber Music Society and with Tango Retro. In addition he has conducted tango workshops in the United States and Canada, and has toured both in Argentina and USA with the Argentine Duo Gomez-Mendez. He is presently musical director of the show "Tangoheart" and lives in Buenos Aires where he studies classical bandoneon at the Conservatorio Manuel de Falla with Rodolfo Daluisio, and orchestration with Gabriel Senanes.
