QuinTango is a quintet of two violins, cello, bass and piano dedicated to the musical performance of tango. The group brings its own interpretations to this evocative music, universally synonymous with the eternal dance of man and woman.

The magic of QuinTango's anecdote-laced performances has turned music lovers into tango lovers, and tango lovers into QuinTango lovers. When QuinTango takes the stage, the lights dim... the pulse quickens... 
the tango begins.

Third Practice is a chamber vocal ensemble that seeks to bring the beauty of the human voice to new and broader audiences. We are dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional classical and contemporary music through thoughtful and adventurous programming that explores the close connections between today’s music and the music of the past. Third Practice is named after a term for the late style of composer Claudio Monteverdi, in which he is said to have fused elements of the older ‘first practice’ with the contemporary ‘second practice,’ creating a rich new musical language.

"...I didn't go to conservatory.  I learned by myself just listening to hundreds of hours of music that I loved;  watching Julian Bream and Roland Dyens videos and just exploring the guitar.  There wasn't anyone telling me what I could or couldn't do. Everything was wide open..."
