For musicians
Workshops
Tango can offer any musician a new perspective of musical thinking — a vision between jazz and classical that opens your mind to an intelligent way of interpretation. Improvising, arranging, creating.
Learning for all instruments and levels.
Concept and direction: Roger Helou
