About

Quartango

When four classically trained musicians explore their passion for tango, the result is nothing short of delightful and mesmerizing. Montreal’s Quartango takes the genre in new directions, with impeccable arrangements, unexpected allusions to classical music, and a liberal dose of humour, woven together by the elegant interplay of ensemble playing at its best. Quartango offers up a varied repertoire from the best-loved classic tangos to tango nuevo and Piazzolla, and also explores other genres from jazz and ragtime to waltzes and Celtic jigs in its own inimitable style. The group is Stéphane Aubin piano, Denis Plante bandonéon, René Gosselin double bass and Antoine Bareil violin.
Quartango has performed in all over Canada as well on the international stage from Ankara and Tokyo to Taipei, Paris, and New York, where they performed at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops and stole the show. The ensemble has recorded six acclaimed CDs for the Justin Time label. In a review of their 2009 release called El Fuego, the Montreal Gazette called the music “playful and intense, both whimsical and sophisticated. These musicians are accurate and intentional—with lush and powerful strings, forceful piano and a bandonéon that sounds effortless.” Quartango creates a memorable musical experience that never fails to bring down the house!
