Hudson Valley Tango Festival To those who practice the form, tango is more than dance, it is a way of living and moving through the world. As the great tango maestro Carlos Gavito said: “The secret of tango is in this moment of improvisation that happens between step and step. It is to make the impossible thing possible: to dance silence.” Immerse yourself in three days of Argentine music, dance, and culture with performances from tango stars like Celina Rotundo and Hugo Patyn and classes for all levels, from experienced dancers to absolute beginners.
There's worldclass tango, there's lambs, there's a comic expo, there's music and music documentaries. The week of April 22-28 is jam-packed with cultural events in the Hudson Valley.
Apollo Chamber Players is delving into its 16th season, themed “Silenced Voices” with perhaps its most thought provoking and poignant programming yet meant to explore the historical and ongoing efforts to ban, censor and marginalize. The four-concert season is will feature world premieres and commissions, a free satellite series and Library Voyage concerts, a new album titled “Trace of Time” and the introduction of the group’s new violist Aria Cheregosha.
