About Me |
|
| Tango: the sultry, darkly beautiful dance music of Argentina is brought to life in the Northern Hemisphere by the Midwest’s foremost tango band, the Oblivion Project. Comprised of some of the finest musicians in the Detroit area, the group was formed to explore the music of the legendary composer Astor Piazzolla. The Oblivion Project’s annual tango concerts at the beloved Kerrytown Concert House in Ann Arbor, Michigan are one of the venue’s most popular springtime events. Like no other music, the passion-filled and dramatic concert tangos of Astor Piazzolla evoke the romance and intrigue of Buenos Aires after dark. Featuring the internationally renowned, award-winning accordion duo of Peter Soave and Julien Labro, the group also boasts some of the area’s most renowned musical performers, including jazz pianist Tad Weed, avant-garde percussionist Alex Trajano, and violinist Gabe Bolkosky, cellist Derek Snyder and bassist John Holkeboer. The Oblivion Project has been called "a tight band of musical adventurers" and their concert described as "a broad palette of moods and styles: straight-to-Hell tangos of tremendous hypnotic force, floating jazz-fusion-like space walks, and even tender major-key romance." Oblivion Project director and cellist Derek Snyder describes it more succinctly, as music with "all the feelings you can find." |
