Winner of two consecutive WAMMIES, QuinTango is the only tango music group to have given a Command Performance at The White House. QuinTango has been heard on NPR’s Morning Edition, CNN, and network television in both the USA and Costa Rica. When QuinTango made their debut at Charleston’s Piccolo Spoleto Festival, Spoleto critic Robert Jones wrote exuberantly that “....their concerts packed the place and sent the customers home tango crazy. ” This year’s review read, “The real news about this splendid group is that they’re getting better all the time.” QuinTango has also performed at both the 9th and 12th International Music Festivals in Costa Rica. Recent festival performances in this country include the Kennedy Center Open House Festival, Wolf Trap’s Theatre-in-the-Woods Children’s Festival and the Virginia Highlands Festival. QuinTango made its European debut in 2002 with five performances in Normandy, France. Last year the group joined Maestro Donald Portnoy and the Augusta Symphony as soloists in their Valentine Pops at the Bell concert. They were featured soloists for the Ars Nova Orchestra’s Gala Fundraiser under the baton of Lynn Luce at Miniaci Hall in Davies, FL. In 2001, QuinTango joined Maestro David Stahl and the Charleston Symphony as soloists for the opening concert of their pops season. Extending their tango reach to Kansas, the group will make three appearances in 2004 with the Wichita Symphony. With sizzling energy and contagious passion, QuinTango gave sixty concerts last year in venues ranging from an elementary school in eastern North Carolina to the 1000-seat 19th century Teatro Nacional in San Jose, Costa Rica. It is this devotion to bringing the music of tango to new audiences that prompted the Washington Post to proclaim QuinTango “one of Washington’s musical treasures.” More Information ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE QUINTANGO MAPS OF THE KENNEDY CENTER  MAPS PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION TO THE KENNEDY CENTER DIRECTIONS     ARIIBA
