Fritz Quartet Presents Tango, Library @ Esplanade

Fritz Quartet Presents: Tango!
23 Feb 2008 (Saturday)
Library @ Esplanade , Open Stage
2pm-3pm


It has always been our wish to perform at different venues and to share our love for music with more people.

When we were offered the opportunity to perform at the Library @ Esplanade, we were extremely excited, as it offers an intimate performing space.

As the Tango is conventionally associated with the sensual and the erotic, we decided, instead to showcase other facets of tango, such as its close ties with the everyday life of Buenos Aires and its cheeky and mischievous side.

The turnout was great, and we were really pleased to see all 50 chairs filled, a rare treat for a Saturday afternoon. In fact, there were many more left standing with some spilling over to the Esplanade Cafe, enjoying their afternoon coffee and cakes while watching our performance.

And of course, having our previous clients spend their Saturday afternoon watching our performance was perhaps the most rewarding of all.

We were especially touched to see Patrick again (we had performed for his birthday party in June last year) who later sent us a congratulatory sms:

"Linda and I were sitting well out of the way and enjoyed the concert as it reminded us so much of Buenos Aires, which we know so well"

For those who have missed the performance or wish to view our performance again, we will be posting clips of the performance on youtube as soon as we have sorted them out. So do check back here for more updates!



No, Max did not sing- he was sharing his thoughts on Tango.



Special thanks goes to Alf Chern for the wonderful photos, Mark Checkley for video-taping and editing the clips for us, and Mr Goh Peck Keong for coordinating the event. Many many thanks for your warm support!

Lastly, thank you so much to all who came down to watch our performance, we hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!

Hello,

It was a pleasure having the Fritz Quartet play at library@esplanade. Really enjoyed the performance that day, especially the music (Por Una Cabeza) for the Tango scene in "Scent of the Woman"!

I believe the reception to your performance was pretty positive overall as well, so by all means, let's hope for another collaboration next year :)
