Ensemble Romulo Larrea TANGO FIRST CENTURY! COMING TO GALLO CENTER FOR THE ARTS IN MODESTO FRIDAY & SATURDAY, MAY 15 & 16, 8 PM TICKETS: $18, $25 & $35 CALL (209) 338-2100 OR VISIT WWW.GALLOARTS.ORG
FREE PRE-SHOW OUTDOOR MILONGAS BEGIN AT 6 PM ON THE CENTER PLAZA! The sensuality of tango comes alive as this 14- member, international troupe explores the evolution of the tango- in this critically acclaimed show. Tango First Century highlights Paris in the roaring twenties, the unforgettable Carlos Gardel, the golden age of tango in the 1940s, and the contemporary tango of Astor Piazzolla. Romulo Larrea’s ensemble, formed in 1990, provides the backbone for this breathtaking production, performing a vast repertoire using an unorthodox combination of traditional tango trio (bandoneon, piano and double bass) and classical quartet (two violins, viola and cello). Tangueros are invited to dance prior to both the Friday and Saturday night performances. Join in the fun beginning at 6 p.m. on the plaza in front the Center. It’s free! FREE SATURDAY POST-SHOW MILONGA AT CLUB MAX-DOUBLETREE HOTEL MODESTO! If you are attending the Saturday night performance of Tango First Century, plan to attend a post-show milonga at the Doubletree Hotel Modesto, just two blocks from the Center at 9th & K.

By special arrangement, you may purchase late dinners in the Doubletree lounge area until 1 a.m. Cast members from Tango First Century have been invited to attend the party! 1000 I Street, Downtown
