UPDATE: 1st Philadelphia International Tango Festival (May 28-30, 2010) Hi everyone,
In addition to the already-announced highlights of the 1st Philadelphia International Tango Festival (http://philadelphiatangofestival.com), including two-time Latin Grammy nominee Tanghetto live in concert, The Tango Cheeseballs, Carlos & Tova Moreno, Adam Hoopengardner & Ciko Tanik, and Jake Spatz, we're happy to announce the following updates & additions: Update #1: The amazing Nick Jones & Diana Cruz of Denver will attend the festival and perform on Saturday night. Update #2: Evan Griffiths (piano) & Nick Jones (bandoneon) will perform at the Friday night milonga. Update #3: Marta Mozelle, who is an accomplished jazz vocalist, will join Wataru Niimori (piano) for the live jazz cortinas at the Sunday night milonga. Check out Marta's myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/martamozellehersolidsenders) to hear clips of her amazing singing. Update #4: You only have two more weeks to sign up for the 4 am Sunday morning breakfast after the All-Night Milonga with Tanghetto. We are so excited about this collaboration with our new neighborhood French bistro, The Pickled Heron. To sign up for the breakfast, go to http://philadelphiatangofestival.com/menu.html Update #5: In addition to all of the previously announced festival teachers, we are very honored that the following tango professionals will travel to Philadelphia to attend the festival: Damian Lobato, Claudio Fortes & Diana Sanchez, Isidoro & Viviana Levinson, Eric Lindgren, and hopefully no one that I'm forgetting. What does this mean? It means that the aggregate awesome-ness in the festival milongas is going to be off the charts. Update #6: The festival workshops are sold out with the exception of one slot for a leader in the very last workshop. If you'd like to snag it, you can do so by calling 617-291-3798. Update #7: On-line registration for the milongas at a discounted price will be available until May 23. After that date, payment (by cash or check only) can be made at the door at the regular price.
