Programme Note
The London Tango Quintet, five acclaimed musicians drawn together by a love of the tango, will be playing one of their rare “pop-up” concerts of vibrant Argentinian tango on 25th January 2018, at St Peter’s Church, Southfield Road, London W4.
This is a special opportunity to hear some fabulous Argentinian tango (and to dance if you are so inclined) played by a group of world leading musicians. Chart topping guitar virtuoso, Craig Ogden, is joined by the extraordinary accordionist, Miloš Milivojevic, described by The Times as 'a hurricane of musical invention'. Pianist/composer David Gordon regularly tours as a jazz musician, harpsichordist and director of internationally renowned ensembles while double bassist, Richard Pryce, works with all the major orchestras and artists from Jamie Cullum to Shirley Bassey. Violinist and founder of the quintet, David Juritz, made headlines when he busked around the world for charity.

Already popular with west London audiences, the Quintet will be playing a programme including Piazzolla, Salgan, Troilo and more at St Peter’s, chosen for its excellent acoustics and the space it offers for tango dancers. For anyone wanting to dip a toe into the world of tango, one of London’s leading tango teachers will run an hour-long beginners tango class before the concert. “This is a golden opportunity to make good on those New Year’s resolutions to learn the tango!’” says Juritz.
