Cottiers Theatre, Hyndland Street, Glasgow
10.30pm
Mr McFall's Chamber are well known for their love of tango, with maté fuelled rehearsals and an encyclopaedic knowledge of Piazzolla and his colleagues.
In the first of The Cottier Chamber Project's Late Adventures evenings, Mr McFall's Chamber will host a Milonga with a Polish twist. The evening will begin with an open dance class, led by professional tango specialists, before the musicians take to the stage to perform milonga and concert sets.
Now popular across the globe, tango music was hugely popular in the clubs of Warsaw during the 1920s and 1930s - it became one of the most popular dances, and Polish composers wrote hit after hit.
