Emory TangoFest

Experience the vibrant world of tango at the Emory TangoFest, where dance, music, and poetry come alive! This exciting event features a grand concert by the Emory University Symphony Orchestra and the Emory Wind Ensemble, both under the direction of Paul Bhasin, alongside the Donna and Marvin Schwartz Artists-in-Residence: Argentine pianist and composer Sonia Possetti and Argentine violinist and composer Damián Bolotin, and special guest bandoneonist Nicolás Enrich.

As part of their residency, Sonia and Damián will also lead two hands-on masterclasses and join conference colleagues in a collaborative chamber concert with students from MUS/DANC 211 Tango: Argentina’s Art Form. Don’t miss this unique chance to engage deeply with the rich traditions of tango through performances and interactive learning experiences.

Join us to cap off the Emory TangoFest with a vibrant milonga—an evening of tango social dancing! This unforgettable dance experience will feature Atlanta-based tango dancers Shelly Brooks, Clint Rauscher, and friends. The milonga is free and open to the public.

The TangoFest is proudly co-sponsored by the Emory Department of Music.
