THE MENDOZA QUARTET & FRIENDS
The Mendoza Tango Quartet has quickly gained a reputation as one of Australia’s leading exponents of tango. Made up of four fiery musicians from across Australia, the group specialises in the performance of traditional and contemporary Argentinian tango music. Featuring the quintessential ferocity of the bandoneon, the Mendoza Tango Quartet - joined by the velvet voice of Solange Lipcin (Buenos Aires) and guest bandoneon/violin players- will take you on a journey through the elegant dance halls to the underground tango clubs of Buenos Aires and the ground-breaking tango nuevo of Astor Piazzolla. The musical highlight of the festival is the unmissable Piazzolla Concert! Past performances have been acclaimed by standing ovation from the audience. It is open to the public and booked through the community centre. With the addition of friends, the quartet will morph into the Festival Orquesta Tipica for the Saturday evening milonga.
