QUARTANGO

Chicago-based KAIA String Quartet announces the release of their second studio album, Quartango. The album brings together tango music from Astor Piazzolla, Carlos Gardel, Osvaldo Fresedo, Pedro Laurenz, Sebastian Piana and Gerardo Matos Rodriguez. Bandoneón player Richard Scofano joins the quartet for two iconic works, La Cumparsita and Milonga de mis amores. KAIA's combination of classical training and passion for world music makes them uniquely poised to bring the music of Quartango to life.

The quartet will celebrate the release of Quartango with a party and performance at the American Theater Company in Chicago's North Center neighborhood. The evening will feature food, wine, and special guest dancers from the American Tango Institute. Album art creator Poppy Golland will be in attendance and will show a selection of her paintings.

Admission includes a copy of the album. Admission is free for Children 12 and under.
