AUDITIONS FOR TANGO OZ 2013

Late applications for  TangoOz 2013 close on Monday October 1st 2012

Being part of TangoOz  (Sydney Youth Orchestra) opens up the world of Argentine tango for young  musicians.

It is a unique opportunity for gifted students to learn about tango culture and to study and perform from original scores in an inspiring, lively, chamber tango ensemble under the leadership of Maggie and her Argentine colleagues.

By learning the art of the tango solo within the orchestra, students are encouraged to express themselves in an individual way by use of  Rubato, while not sacrificing traditional classical values of intonation (tuning), rhythm and ensemble tutti playing.

Stage preparation and manners are emphasised to prepare students for confident performance – while remaining a cohesive ensemble, they may display individual touches in their stage outfits. In addition the students are required to prepare notes on the tangos to be played and present them in a short speech to the audience.

Many graduates of TangoOz have formed their own ensembles and are playing regular concerts and gigs for the Sydney and Canberra communities.
