SUMMARY:Driftwood Quintet - El Tango Nuevo: Angeles y Diablos
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nThis suite of 8 tangos by Astor Piazzolla depicts an angel’s journey to save a small town in Buenos Aires and a demon’s brash attempt to stop it. Piazzolla perfectly blends elements of classical\, jazz and Argentinian music to showcase the tango’s flirtatious rhythms and delicate nuances that will take your breath away. \nBased in Phoenix\, Arizona\, the Driftwood Quintet is a chamber group dedicated to crossing genres and bending boundaries in classical music. Through the work of Driftwood’s arrangers\, a performance can feature anything from orchestral masterworks or piano works to the imaginative soundtracks from the greatest video games and films. Driftwood also seeks to create memorable experiences through collaborations with artists from a variety of disciplines\, ranging from jazz musicians and singer/songwriters to dancers and visual artists. \nDriftwood also exemplifies its dedication to chamber music through educational outreach\, engaging youth through interactive performances that integrate music with a variety of disciplines such as language arts\, science\, and history. Members of the Driftwood Quintet are active music educators in the Phoenix metropolitan area\, working in underprivileged communities to improve the quality of public music education and foster lifelong musical literacy. \nOriginally from Mesa\, Arizona\, Gabe Hall-Rodrigues is a Seattle-based\, Brazilian-American musician with a deep love for the accordion\, piano\, vocals\, and composition. His musical ventures have led him to perform with diverse groups like Jared and the Mill\, the Salt River Brass Band\, the Seattle Philharmonic\, the Ben Thomas Tango Project\, and Brazilian forró band Foleada. He most recently dazzled audiences at the 2024 Ystad Jazz Festival as part of Bobby Medina’s Latin American Jazz Experience. Additionally\, Gabe also co-creates beautiful music as part of the accordion duo Creosote with his wife Jamie Maschler\, offering unique interpretations of Brazilian music and original compositions. \nGabe’s talent on the accordion has been recognized globally\, with accolades such as winning the American Accordionists Association’s Solo Virtuoso Competition in 2010 and clinching 2nd place in the International Open category at the prestigious Trophee Mondial in Loule\, Portugal in 2019. \nA passionate educator\, Gabe draws on nearly two decades of experience to inspire students both in-person in Seattle and virtually across the U.S. He also dedicates his time to nurturing the accordion community as the former conductor of the Rose City Accordion Club Camp (2017-2024)\, co-director of Emerald City Accordion\, and as the current president of the North American Accordion Collaborative. \nGabe Hall-Rodrigues genuine love for music is palpable\, and he uses his talents to connect with others and spread joy through his art.
