[Tango-A] NA-E: Atlanta Tango Festival schedule: All about the music

[Angel Montero]

The Atlanta Tango Festival (April; 15-18 2010) schedule is up, and IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!

SCHEDULE
In addition to have some of the best DJs in the country taking care of the music in our SEVEN milongas, the teachers have chosen topics for their workshops that are in great measure connected to the music. Our of TWENTY (20) classes, at least 12 have a title that refers to music or musicality, and even some mention orchestras by name (D'Arienzo, De Caro, Pugliese)

Of course, to take advantage of these classes, you have to register for the Festival.

SPECIAL CLASSES:
We have two special treats not included in any pass, given the special character of the classes.

Wednesday night, Dan Boccia will be in charge of Atlanta Tango's regular class. In this occasion, he will have Brigitta Winkler as a his special guess. 
The topic: Clarity, Contrast and Sharing the Rhythm. More details at www.atlantatango.com

Also, Saturday April 17th, all the DJs will share their ideas with everybody interested in a brunch/round table/seminar with a long Q/A section. The topics for this seminar are still in the air; from why becoming a DJ, to choosing the music for a performance, to tango history and modern tango music. $15 will give you breakfast and a lot of tango.
