The Seven Sins of Tango
Friday 26 June 2026 | 7:30pm (doors open at 6:45pm)
The Seven Sins of Tango by Candlelight is a brand-new production for 2026, featuring two champion tango dancers accompanied by a 10-piece ensemble from the world-renowned London Concertante. It is straight from Argentina, merging the smouldering music of Astor Piazzolla and his contemporaries with electrifying choreography and virtuosic musicianship, revealing tango in its most authentic yet sophisticated form.
Tango showcases Argentina’s most iconic dance, combining its elegance with raw intensity and razor-sharp precision. This passionate language is pushed to its very limits, creating an exhilarating spectacle for eyes and ears alike.
Accompanying the dancers on stage, the programme features the very best music from tango’s golden era. We also hear works by other composers from the bars of Buenos Aires at the time, such as Francisco de Caro, and Jacob Gade.
For this exciting project, London Concertante joins forces once again with celebrated pianist and composer David Gordon, whose arrangements and original works breathe fresh life into tango’s fiery sound world.
