CRESENDO PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS:

QUINTANGO

September 27 | 7:30 P.M. | KMFA DRAYLEN MASON MUSIC STUDIO

Join us for an extraordinary evening of live tango music at KMFA Classical 89.5 in Austin, Texas. Get ready to immerse yourself in the passionate rhythms and soul-stirring melodies of QuinTango. This in-person event promises to transport you to the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires. Experience the seductive dance and the intense emotions that tango embodies. Don't miss this chance to witness the exquisite artistry of the talented musicians as they bring the spirit of Argentina to life.

Over its 20-year history, QuinTango’s command performances have ranged from the White House to memorable concerts in 23 states, at venues ranging from Stanford University and Lincoln Center Plaza, to the Kennedy Center and Piccolo Spoleto in Charleston. They’ve performed at international festivals in Costa Rica and the Amalfi Coast—and toured in France, Italy, Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina and Uruguay.

QuinTango not only captivates audiences with their artistry, they invite you in as one of the family, immersing listeners in the world of tango. Each tango has its own special message, introduced with surprising narratives so you can explore everything from the grief of losing a father, to the thrill of deep-sea fishing, and the poignancy of a young poet’s fate. In this music, born in the streets and made respectable in sophisticated salons, we hear the full human journey: romance, loss, heartache, and deep joy embedded in haunting melodies.

Make your way to Navasota Street and get ready to be swept away by the captivating sounds of QuinTango.

It all began with a pandemic. Unlikely heroes emerged both physically and digitally. Zoom replaced in-person meetings, and QR codes made an unforseen comeback. But like so many tragic events of history-past, a renaissance of ideologies and practices soon followed what seemed like an eternal drudgery of cultural silence. With major museums and concert venues shuttered, house museums, historic sites, and open spaces gave birth to a new paradigm for a twenty first century “theater model” that provided new and limitless opportunities for experiential engagement.

It is upon this foundation — that all historic and cultural spaces are ideally and equitably suited to engage — that Crescendo productions was built; forging alliances where they had previously not existed, creating opportunities where there were previously none, and finding inspiration for bold and inventive programming under the most seemingly impossible circumstances.

Taking inspiration from the words of the inimitable Hans Christian Anderson — “Where words fail, music speaks” — it is our mission and passion to activate our most treasured historic and cultural spaces with the glory of music, the transcendency of art, and the grace of the spoken word. Every site is unique, and deserves a similarly unique approach to its model for public engagement.
