STRINGS
Instruments: violin, viola, violoncello, contrabass (flute, harp & guitar for Histoire du Tango)
Faculty: Leonardo Suarez-Paz
Tango's main instruments at its inception were violin, guitar and flute and the strings always occupied an important role, not only melodically but rhythmically. String Orchestra workshops are an orchestral practice in which participants will understand how to phrase as an ensemble and how to interpret tango rhythms written in tango scores, which are never expressed as they are actually written! Tango, milonga and nuevo tango compositions will be used in the workshops and provided ahead of time to participants. Two special workshops String Orchestra:YOUTH are included for our younger participants.
Two Strings Master Classes provide opportunities to expand any player' skill and repertoire with "Four For Tango" for string quartets and "Histoire du Tango," duos for violin, guitar, flute and harp. These compositions were chosen for their popularity among classical players.

GUITAR ENSEMBLE
Instruments: guitar (classical guitar)
Faculty: Alejo de Los Reyes
Tango began with gauchos and “the payada,” an improvised rhyme which interacted with the guitar’s rhythmical qualities and musical virtuosity. The guitar has always been present and important in tango, transforming across time from “the payada” and the earliest tangos into electric guitar played in the ensembles of Piazzolla and Salgán. Working with repertoire provided ahead of time, these workshops are taught in progression and focus on tango technique, “the tango groove,” working with singers recreating a traditional guitar ensemble.

BANDONEON ENSEMBLE

Faculty: Rodolfo Zanetti
An instrument created in Germany, bandoneon was first created to accompany ecclesiastical processions. After arriving in tango, the bandoneon transformed and like instruments (including violin and other strings), it holds an important role in creating the rhythmical groove. Each orchestra had its style and signature rhythm which defined it. In the Bandoneon Ensemble workshops participants will begin understanding styles and work with repertoire which will be played in our "Orquesta Tipica" workshops. Participants will come away understanding how the voicing of the bandoneon and rhythms integrate and interact in the orchestra and in different styles. This workshop series is REQUIRED for everyone participating in "Orchestra Tipica."
