In the words of Cervantes, "If you're Italian, you sing, if you're German, you play an instrument. But if you are Spanish, you start dancing right after you're born." From Spain to Argentina, the Spanish people have celebrated the passion and rhythms of the dance.

Enjoy music from the sultry cafés of Buenos Aires to the concert halls of Spain, with works by Piazzolla, Villa Lobos, Ginastera, Albeniz, Mompou, Falla, Pontier, Saborido, Saenz, and Turina.

Live tango dancers will be featured along with duos, trios, and a quartet for piano and strings.
