If love is in the air in spring, that must mean that it's tango season in music. At Mission San José in Fremont, Aileen Chanco's Music at the Mission series concludes with a cross-genre program centered on tango nuevo creator Astor Piazzolla, featuring Quinteto Quilombo (with bandoneon player Seth Asarnow) playing the composer's tangos and milongas in the instrumentation for which they were conceived.
Chanco and her mates contribute some works of Argentinean Alberto Ginastera as well as other tango-related classical pieces. The main question with this concert is, will there be a dance floor and will anybody have the self-assurance to use it?
