Description “Tango Fado Project is a delectable mixture of these two popular musical genres of Argentina and Portugal. The performers view them as kindred in melody and texture, inviting a cross-pollination of their salient features. Both tango and fado appeal to the sensibilities of virtuoso performers, and the eminently flexible chamber group Manhattan Camerata (19 members strong, comprised of clarinet, strings, and percussion) combines here with some world-class talents…. The artistic substance here is so great that I think much more music can be created along these lines. Make no mistake about it: This is music of emotional seriousness and technical sophistication. It is deeply enriching.” — David DeBoor Canfield, Fanfare Magazine, January 2016 “Not only are the results of this group’s work intriguing purely as ideas; they are also stunningly performed and thoroughly entertaining….Manhattan Camerata has made my day.” —Phillip Scott, Fanfare Magazine, May/June 2016
