Tango Live Orchestra Dance Workshop + Milonga

The Bristol Community Tango Orchestra is inviting you to an exciting Sunday afternoon tango experience celebrating orchestral tango music in all its facets through dance and live music performance! ****Sunday 22nd June 2025**** **3-4pm Live Music Musicality Workshop** Supported by the players of the orchestra, visiting tango teacher Caroline Mathias will be unpicking much-loved traditional tango pieces for you in a completely unique way. Caroline is in the area over the summer before she returns to Buenos Aires later in the year, so this is one of very few opportunities to experience her wonderful way of teaching tango. **4-8pm Live music Milonga** 4 hours of dancing with live music played by the Bristol Community Tango Orchestra and carefully selected recorded traditional tango tunes by DJ Caroline Mathias. Founded in September 2024 as part of the Creative Caminito project (initiated by the lead violinist of the London Tango Orchestra Caroline Pearsall), the Bristol Community Tango Orchestra is currently the only of its kind in the area. No less than 16 players with Cristina Benezet on vocals have been working together on a predominantly traditional repertoire on a monthly basis. Led by Tango Calor's bandeonist Mirek Salmon and Bristol-based violinist Carola Hengstenberg, the orchestra gave its roaring debut performance in February this year. **Venue** Kingswood Community Association, High St, Kingswood, Bristol BS15 4AB We are delighted to have been able to secure this beautiful hall which comes with an excellent floor, a staffed bar, plenty of space to dance plus free off street parking. **Costs** Workshop 15 pounds Milonga 17 pounds Workshop + Milonga 30 pounds Please note the workshop places are limited, so please book your place in advance using the following ticket link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bristol-tango-live-orchestra-dance-workshop-milonga-tickets-1357034499719?aff=oddtdtcreator We are looking forward to seeing you on the dance floor!!
