Tango Gala - nothing else like it

Tango Gala event by the Brownsville Society for the Performing Arts

No other music captures a greater range of passionate expression in a single presentation as effectively as Tango. Born on the fringes of society, it is an intimately interwoven texture of drama, movement, and music. Tango captures the struggle between what binds us together and what pushes us apart. It is the arc of these ancient forces that serves to generate an intense reflection of desire.

Meet the artists:

Giampaolo Bandini - Cesare Chiacchiaretta Duo, formed in 2002, aiming to popularize Argentine music through the charm and magic of its most representative instruments. The duo immediately became an important point of reference in the international concert circuit, thanks to their great communicativeness combined with an extraordinary charisma. They have since been invited to the most important festivals and theatres, touring the world across more than 50 countries, to outstanding critical and audience approval. They have also been recorded by the most important radio and television broadcasters in Italy and abroad. In 2016 they had their debut for the Decca label with the cd Escualo, hommage to Astor Piazzolla, followed by "Tango, Misterio y Folia" in 2020.

The duo had the privilege of playing Astor Piazzolla's Double Concerto "Hommage a Liegi" conducted by Maestro Leo Brouwer. The great Cuban composer has also dedicated to them "La Folia a Traves de los siglos" in 2017. Additionally, they’ve performed original compositions written for them by the likes of Daniel Binelli, Fernando Tavolaro, Saverio Rapezzi, and Maximo Diego Pujol, who dedicated to them the Double Concerto for guitar, bandoneon and orchestra "Luminosa Buenos Aires" (2009).

As teachers, the duo are requested by the most renowned Academies and international Universities, holding classes at the Institutes of Higher Education "Luigi Boccherini" in Lucca and "Umberto Giordano" in Foggia.
