Ben Thomas Tango Project at The Royal Room

Featuring a dream team of Seattle musicians, Ben Thomas presents an evening of original modern tango music.

Rooted in traditional tango, this project explores how the music continues to grow as it encounters new times and new influences. Following the lead of some of the pioneers of the current scene in Buenos Aires, such as Diego Schissi and Exequiel Mantega, Thomas builds pieces combining rhythmic intensity with lush harmonies, whimsy, and an emphasis on storytelling.

The sextet includes Laura Coronel and Libby Phelps on violin, Eric Likkel on clarinet, Gabe Hall-Rodrigues on piano, and Steve Schermer on bass.
