Eko Nova Presents ‘Tango Romántico”
By Corbin Hirschhorn
When Omaha Chamber Music Society began planning Eko Nova’s next performance at Kaneko, Tango Romántico, they were right to call Omaha Symphony’s lead flutist Maria Harding.
Keeping in line with Eko Nova’s ethos, Harding selected tunes from both classic and contemporary, living composers. The task for Harding and fellow performers, including Canadian guitarist and arranger Louis Trepanier, is to maintain tango’s street spirit in the gallery setting.
Tango Romántico offers guests two unique experiences as far as chamber concerts go. The audience is invited to dance, and instructors from Omaha’s vintage ballroom will be there to help.
Also enjoy samplings of Argentine wine and chocolate from Chocolate Abeille in the Old Market.
Tango Romántico is Monday, Feb. 12 at Kaneko at 7:00pm. For more information or tickets, visit OmahaChamberMusic.org.
