Tango!
TANGO WITH WINNIE
Convinced of tango’s power to include everyone, pianist Winnie Cheung launched Tango With Winnie to bring live tango dance and music to both classic and unconventional tango corners of the world: concert halls, milongas, art galleries, farmers markets, K-12 schools, universities, dementia homes, assisted living spaces, prisons, town-wide multicultural celebrations, and more. Tango has deep magic: it reawakens memories of the body and of the mind; it tolerates differences; it shares culture. With veteran artists that Winnie brings from all over the world, especially Argentina, Tango with Winnie handcrafts each program towards any imaginable objective of your event, and invites you sincerely to tango, whoever you are, wherever you are.
Winnie has played over 300 tango events in the USA, Canada, Asia, Argentina, even Antarctica. Her album with Cuarteto Tanguero, Guapeando, charted Top 10 Billboard World Music in 2018. Her newest album with the duo Ben & Winnie, La Próxima Traición, was released in 2020 with glowing reviews.
Originally from Hong Kong, Winnie is a globetrotting pianist holding a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Chicago and Masters and Doctorate from the Eastman School of Music in Piano and Music Composition. She taught classes in music composition, theory, piano, choir, and music appreciation from ages 5 to 95 in Canada and USA until tango found her. More about Winnie Cheung: http://
