with Conductor, Composer, Pianist Alejandro Ziegler
In 2007 he formed, "Alejandro Ziegler Cuartet" developing their own unique style of tango music reflecting both
innovation and tradition. The ensemble is a new synthesis of the traditional
tango orchestra, playing in the Golden Age style of Di Sarli, Pugliese, Troilo
and Gobbi, amongst others. With a mix of various grooves and different arrangements,
each members' expressive, personal playing style is featured. You can feel the on stage communication
between the four musicians as they playfully flirt with the powerful intensity
of chamber musical expression, yet respectful of these magnificent original
compositions. Ziegler 's own compositions
come alive through surprising, intimate arrangements peppered with spontaneous
improvisation, just as the beautiful and enigmatic Argentine Tango dance is
known for, keeping us totally mesmerized.
With their 5th European Tour scheduled for April - May 2013, these masterful musicians have completed 4 tours, 150 concerts in 80 cities around Europe. Included in these tours, Alejandro teaches Argentine Tango history and musicality workshops in universities the world over!

Ruta was in the first international ballet exchange for the Bolshoi Theatre,
training that prepared her for numerous major, principal roles like, La Belle in "Mystere", Cirque de Soleil Canada's very own famous
company. Drawn to tango in the mid
2000's Ruta no stranger to intense training immersed herself to tango in/out of Buenos
Aires, teaching alongwith creating, performing and co-producing many top shelf shows.
Marcos is
3rd generation Argentine Milonguero, learning his first tango steps from
grandfather, then intense study with a cherished training pedigree from the
finest Grand Tango Maestro's like: Vilurazo & Elvira, Mingo & Ester Pugliese, Carlos Gavito, Carlos Coppello,
Los Dinzels ...on treasuring my working Alberto Podesta.
"I
also sat at the table with Carlos
Estevez the famous Petroleo he
was Mingo & Ester's teacher to
talk to him about tango was like talking to God about the world... Pepito Avellaneda was the one that gave
me the traspie for the Milonga and pushed me to implement my drumming skills
back round to use in the dance... ah Sandra you take me to another time I rarely share!". He was on full staff of Argentina’s Presidential Committee
of Entertainment performing for official presidential events and dignitaries
visiting Buenos Aires.
Andrea Monti & Hugo "Gato" Valdez
