TOPIC FOR SUNDAY MARCH 11TH: OVERVIEW
An overview of the styles of the 'major' orchestras- those used 
regularly in milongas worldwide and acknowledged to be the best music 
for social dancing i.e. Di Sarli, D’Arienzo, Canaro, Troilo, Fresedo, 
Donato, Tanturi, Calo, Biagi, Laurenz, Pugliese… (and we will not forget 
the contributions of De Caro, Lomuto, Carabelli...)
i.e. We will listen to signature tunes by each major orchestra to 
recognize the qualities that make each distinctly unique... We'll 
discuss, listen and dance to tracks of the same song covered by a 
variety of orchestras, as a tool to discover often subtle differences in 
orchestral style, arrangements and approach; We’ll also talk about our 
‘personal favorites -’ why we like dancing to specific orchestras and 
what it tells us about our own dancing.

TOPIC FOR SUNDAY MARCH 18TH: CHANGING IN TIME
Classic tango orchestra’s were vital, living, creative entities that 
evolved over time. Through deep listening, discussion and dancing, we’ll 
continue with our overview of the key orchestras and explore their 
evolution over time, discovering how sound & tempo changed, particularly 
over the ‘30’, ‘40’s and ‘50’s, by comparing recordings from the same 
orchestra through those decades.

*** Each session will include background materials including where you 
can find more detailed info on tango music. CD’s of recordings used for 
illustration purposes will also be available. ~~
