TANGO FOR MUSICIANS AT REED COLLEGE
Tango For Musicians at Reed College takes placen in Portland, Oregon (USA) in collaboration with Reed Collegewith a program developed to maximize the students' learning experience, throught rehearsals and hands-on training to cover all aspects of tango music.
In 2026, TANGO FOR MUSICIANS AT REED COLLEGE celebrates its 10th Anniversary Editiona milestone we want to turn into an unforgettable experience for our entire community.
To celebrate these ten years, we want the spotlight to be on those who have been part of this journey since the very beginning: a community of musicians who, over time, became references in their own fields as artists, educators, and creators. That was exactly what we dreamed of ten years ago.
Tango teaches us to listen to others more than to ourselves, to build music collectively, to create works that are born from active participation, communication, and collaboration. That vision has guided Tango for Musicians since day one — and it will also define the spirit of this Anniversary Edition. Tango for Musicians desde el primer día — y será también el espíritu de esta Edición Aniversario.
Our educational programs will give you great experience to challenge yourself to play tango music in a variety of classes and ensembles. Whether you’re looking to expand your knowledge of tango music, or experience playing tango for the first time, there’s a place for you.
