About performer

Did you know that tango – a passionate, heart-stirring dance and music genre – was not born in luxurious ballrooms, but in the suburbs of Buenos Aires and Montevideo at the end of the 19th century? Around 1880–1890, in the port districts where Spanish, Italian, African, Creole, and local cultures met, a new artistic expression was born out of poverty, longing, and the desire to connect – tango. In its early days, tango was danced in cafés, taverns, and brothels, accompanied by violin, guitar, or flute...

Having traveled a long road from the disdain of high society to conquering Paris, tango will now resound in Klaipėda, where the “TANGO REVOLUTION” will be unveiled.


In today’s concert, we invite you on a journey from the old, danceable tango – milonga – to modern concert tango, created by Ástor Piazzolla. He – the king of the new tango – fused classical music, jazz, and tango into a unified, expressive form meant not for dancing, but for listening.


We will hear his famous piece – The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires – performed by violinist and arranger Vilhelmas Čepinskis with a string orchestra. Later, tango dancers will take the stage to revive the essence of the dance – body language, intimacy, and improvisation.


The evening’s highlight and surprise for all attendees – a milonga – a true celebration of dance where past, present, and the pulsating rhythm of Argentina will come together.
