The Redwood Arts Council opens its 30th Anniversary Season of Pearls on September 12th with a combination of fine music with passionate Tango. The Cleveland Duo & James Umble, a unique group of talented musicians has performed together for 16 years in major chamber music venues, festival sites, universities and conservatories of music throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico. They have been heard over NPR and Canadian radio, and have embarked upon a multi-disc recording project for the Klavier Records label. They regularly appear in concert presenting recitals of newly commissioned pieces, original masterworks and fresh transcriptions for violin and piano, violin saxophone and piano, two violins, and saxophone with piano.

They will be joined for two pieces by the Argentinean tango duo of Gustavo and Jesica Hornos, who have been described as a “breathtakingly beautiful to watch, showing the very soul of the dance.” Be prepared to experience the magical seduction of the Argentine tango. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Gustavo and Jesica devote their lives to show the cultural treasure of Argentina--the real tango dancing. Even though their technique is very sophisticated, their dance is completely emotionally driven which is something that audiences always appreciate and enjoy. When performing, they let you see the story of their love in every movement. Tango is a deep metaphor of superb communication, teamwork, trust, relationship, romance, sensuality and all the enjoyment and drama of life itself.
