You will have an opportunity to experience it all at the Łazarski University (room 130) on 25 January at 2.30 p.m. <br /> <br /> We have a great pleasure to invite you to an open “Tango of Love” concert combined with a dance show, during which you can sign up for a free tango lesson. <br /> <br /> The concert will feature Polish tango songs from pre-war Warsaw, such as: “Tango Milonga", “Ostatnia Niedziela", “Rebeka" and “To grzech"; it will be an opportunity for you to see for yourself that the tango is not only a dance but, above all, a story expressed through singing. <br /> As a fragment of Polish culture, the tango boasts a history of over 100 years. In mid-1930s, Polish composers and conductors have moulded their own unique tango style, with a softer harmony and melody as well as more melancholic than the Argentinian original. Thousands of tango hits were composed around that time. Warsaw became the European capital city of the tango. <br /> <br /> PERFORMERS:<br /> <br /><strong> Olga Avigail Mieleszczuk – vocals</strong><br /> Singer, accordion player, researcher of East European music traditions. Specialising in Jewish music, Olga sings also in Yiddish and Hebrew. Born in Warsaw, for the last four years she has been dividing her time between Warsaw and Jerusalem where she is currently living. Olga took part in many international Jewish music festivals. She is cooperating with organisations promoting Jewish culture in Poland and Israel. <br /> <br /><strong> Hadrian Tębecki – grand piano, arrangement</strong><br /> A Warsaw-based composer, arranger and pianist, composing music for films (e.g. Tomasz Konecki’s "Lejdis") and theatre plays. Hadrian writes music to poems and texts by Wojciech Młynarski, Wisława Szymborska, J. Twardowski and many others. He received numerous awards for his artistic work, including among others for music written for the television performance of "Piękna Pani Seidenman".<br /> <br /><strong> Piotr Malicki - guitar</strong><br /> Piotr cooperates with many musicians and usually performs in small bands. Having discovered the tango several years ago, it overpowered him completely; as a member of the Tangata Quintet, together with Krzysztof Jakowicz he published a CD entitled "Tango - moja miłość".<br /> <br /><strong> Grzegorz Bożewicz - bandoneon</strong><br /> One of the few bandoneon virtuosos in Poland, Grzegorz also plays the accordion and piano, composes and teaches. He is a gifted and multi-faceted artist as well as an appreciated interpreter of Argentinian, Greek and Irish music. Having graduated from the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, he has been giving concerts both solo and with orchestra and choirs (the National Philharmonics in Warsaw, Podlasie Opera and Philharmonics, Polskie Radio Concert Studio).
Centrum Kultury i Tańca OLL dancers NATASZA & MASOUD<br /> Natasza and Masoud are performers and Argentinian tango dancers. Together, they created Tangopoemat.<br /> “Tangopoemat has been born from what we call our style; it is based on contact and emotions. Tangopoemat is a search for another human being in an embrace. Tangopoemat translates into being with another person; it is intimacy and passion combined.”
