About this Event
Live Tango Concert & Milonga
Dedicated to Vancouver’s vibrant and growing tango community, this concert celebrates the rich, multicultural, and deeply social roots of Argentine tango. From its origins in the late 19th century among the diverse communities of the Río de la Plata region, tango has continually evolved through the meeting of cultures, musical traditions, and lived experiences. This program traces that journey, paying homage to the genre’s iconic voices while exploring its ongoing evolution.
Audiences will encounter works by beloved composers, including Héctor Stamponi, featuring an arrangement by Ariel Pirotti, Osvaldo Pugliese, Astor Piazzolla, and contemporary composer Alfredo “Tape” Rubín.
Brought to life by Julian Lee De Vita, Ivy Lin, David Lee, and Aref Zargari under the direction of IsaIpa, this concert invites listeners to experience tango as a living, breathing social practice. Whether you are here to listen closely or feel moved to dance, everyone is welcome to take part.
The Celebration Continues: Post-Concert Milonga
Following the live performance, Tango DJ Cathy Knowlton will curate an elegant selection of tandas to keep the floor moving. Milongueros are invited to step into the ronda, while music lovers are welcome to stay, enjoy a drink, and soak in the social atmosphere.
Refreshments, alongside cold and hot non-alcoholic drinks, will be available throughout the evening.
