Carismático Tango Concert, Worksop – UKby Rob Howard |
On Wednesday June 20th, 7.30pm, the tango quintet Carismático performs in concert at Worksop College/Mountgarret Recital Room, Sparken Hill, Worksop, Nottinghamshire S80 3AP. The members of Carismático are Karen Street – accordion, Andy Tweed – saxophones, Yshani Perinpanayagam – piano, Rob Millett – percussion, and Dave Manington – bass. Carismático is a new ensemble created by accordionist Karen Street. In 2016 Argentinian composer and pianist Saúl Cosentino made contact and generously sent her some of his music to play. She was so excited by the compositions that she decided to create her ideal Tango band to perform his music, explore the beguiling world of Tango and write for the band herself. The musical focus for Carismático is Tango Nuevo, a style created by Astor Piazzolla with the aim of moving Tango onto the concert platform. Saúl Cosentino himself was hugely influenced by Piazzolla, eventually studying with him and becoming friends. The core of the repertoire Carismático presents are Cosentino’s brilliant, emotionally charged compositions alongside some classic Piazzolla arrangements and Street’s own wonderful new compositions for the group.
