Having toured the world as part of Argentina’s renowned Color Tango Orchestra, pianist, composer, and arranger Analía Goldberg leads her own acclaimed sexteto típico for an evening of golden-age tango. Experience the dramatic intensity of a milonga under the moonlight with a classic six-piece configuration that artfully balances the traditional with the new.

This evening features a free dance lesson from 5:30 to 6:00 pm that is accessible to people with limited mobility and will include seated versions of every dance. The lesson will be led by instructors from the Mark Morris Dance Group’s Dance for PD program, which specializes in creatively addressing balance, cognition, motor skills, and physical confidence through dance. All are welcome to participate, and guests are encouraged to purchase tickets to the dance floor afterward.

The adapted dance lesson from 5:30-6:00 is free, and tickets to the dance floor after 6:00 are $18 in advance, or $22 day-of. Participants are also welcome to enjoy the music free of charge in the park.
