Charles Gorczynski returns to the Bay Area to debut his new tango quartet featuring pianist Elyse Weakley, violinist Basma Edrees, and bassist Dan Fabricant. The ensemble performs original contemporary tango music, arranges music by contemporary Argentine composers, and explores the roots of tango music by performing classics and focusing on the music of legendary tango bandleaders Osvaldo Pugliese and Anibal Troilo.

Bandoneonist and composer Charles Gorczynski works in contemporary tango and music production. He is the director of Minneapolis-based Twin Cities Tango Collective, the bandleader of Redwood Tango Ensemble and Charles Gorczynski Tango Quartet, and has worked as bandoneonist for dozens of tango projects including Mariano Barreiro Tango Trio, Alejandro Ziegler Cuarteto, Maldito Tango Duo, Maxi Larrea Trio, and Los Tangueros Del Oeste. He has toured North America and Europe extensively to support original tango music releases, most recently releasing the album “We Become The Night Sky” recorded by 12-piece tango ensemble based in San Francisco. As a life-long producer, Charles is a Latin Grammy-nominated mixing engineer and owner of the Minneapolis-based studio/label Caverns, focused on producing and releasing high quality and future-driven new tango work.
