Classical Revolution RVA

A TASTE OF ARGENTINA will give Richmonders a chance to experience the food, drink, and culture of Argentina for one night. On Tuesday July 28th, Firehouse Theatre will become a festival of yerba mate, Fernet Branca, Argentinian wines, and empanadas. Dancers from Richmond Tango, Edgardo and Niky Satarain, will perform with accompaniment by Q-tango, a bandoneon, cello, and guitar trio from Washington, D.C. Then, a complete performance of Alberto Ginastera's "String Quartet no. 2" will be given by professional chamber musicians from across the country: Sharan Leventhal of Boston, Ellen Cockerham of Richmond, Misha Galaganov of Fort Worth, and Sara Sitzer of Chicago will join forces to bring this fiery work to life. Where else can you see tango dancers, a bandoneon player, a professional string quartet, all while drinking Fernet Branca and eating empanadas? It's an event not to be missed. Salud!
