The Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet is internationally acclaimed as one of the premiere ambassadors for the evolution of tango into new territories. Composed of four virtuoso musicians, the quartet’s performances feature Pedro's own innovative compositions and arrangements, as well as his interpretations of the great tango masters from Pugliese to Piazzolla. They have released three albums to date: the very first, Vigor Tanguero, won a Latin GRAMMY in 2018. The second, Impulso Tanguero (2021), continued to evolve the possibilities of tango, demonstrating how Giraudo’s contemporary tango style crossed over elegantly and seamlessly to the world of chamber music. In the most recent release, Strata (2024), Giraudo ventures into the world of symphonic music, crafting a rich sonic landscape that draws from his diverse musical influences.
Joining them is Virginia Tango, the Richmond-based husband-and-wife duo of Cristian Bravo and Anna León, whose mission is to transmit the identity of Argentine Tango and its social and theatrical expression. These dancers have a combined experience of more than 35 years as professional tango dancers, including championship competition awards, and teaching and performing all over the world and in prominent schools in Buenos Aires.

Join the Performing Arts Department for the fall Theatre Program production of Almost, Maine by John Cariani. Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream. Almost, Maine is a series of amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism…witty, romantic, unsentimental. A beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings.7 - Fri^7:30 p.m.Almost, Maine by John Cariani Thoresen Theatre, Harold G. Leggett Building Almost, Maine

Following the release and promotion of her debut CD, SHiNE (MamaGooch Music), a radio interview on NPR led to an invitation to join the musical cast of KÀ by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, where Shana remained for 5 years before returning to a full-time schedule of performing, recording, collaborating on an international level. A committed arts education advocate, Shana is also a sought-after teaching artist, frequently presenting workshops and artist-in-residences in schools and communities across the country, for people of all ages and abilities, students and teachers and aspiring teaching artists alike.
