Music
The Barefoot Bandoneonista: Ben Bogart and Winnie Cheung take audiences on a journey to the heart of tango while treading lightly on the earth.
Bandoneon player Ben Bogart and pianist Winnie Cheung explore the expressive range of tango music on their Tiny Footprint Tango Tour. “When we take the stage, our job is to transport you to a different place: wherever ‘tango’ is for you,” Winnie explains. The duo performs pieces from tango’s formative years in Argentina in the 1920s and the later “Big Tango” sound of the Golden Age. For all that history, tango is also a contemporary world art, so the duo is just as likely to play pieces composed last year.
