arrangers & composers

If you would like to arrange or compose tango music and be able to premiere your music played by the TFM resident ensemble or your own tango ensemble, do not miss this opportunity!

  • Arrangers & composers should apply to be accepted. Application available on this website on December 11, 2023.
  • Participants must bring a new arrangement or piece to premiere at the edition.
  • Participants can choose the type of ensemble to write for.
  • Spots will be granted on a first-come-first-serve basis after application. 

An online, 3-month “Musical Tutorial Writing Course” will be offered (for an extra cost) for the writing process, keeping in mind that during the TFM week it is not possible to have enough time for developing new tools.

The arranger or composer could choose to write for any of these three ensemble types:

  • TFM Resident Ensemble

  • Other Ensemble

ABOUT THE MUSIC
