PHANTASTango! Orchestra

This year we will have our phantastic phantastango orchestra again, in which you can participate! There will be some pros, but it is especially an opportunity for us dancers that also play an instrument (or sing)  to relate to tango in a new (and very exciting) way.

This year the orchestra will be lead by Max Peschek (guitar) from Bremen and Homer Ladas (Bandoneon) from San Francisco, who are very excited to do so!

Daily rehearsals will start on Sunday 22.7.2012 10 to 12 am.

Our goal will be to have a great time together playing tango music and to perform one to three tandas at the saturday night milonga july 28. The working languages for rehearsals will be german and english, we hope this is ok for everybody.

All preparation material (arrangements, lead sheets, lyrics and MP3s) is
