PointeTango Dance Company and Payadora Tango Ensemble come together to bring the magic of live music and dance to the Aeolian Phoenix Sessions.
‘Tango in the Dark’ is an award-winning show that combines the precision of ballet on pointe with the passion and intimacy of Argentine tango.
Roots Music Canada describes the artists’ performance as “moving, dramatic, acrobatic, sensual and haunting.” Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind performance as PointeTango’s sultry duo lights the way through the shadows and mysteries of the city night.

Payadora
Payadora is a contemporary chamber music ensemble that performs Argentinian/Uruguayan tango and folk music and original compositions inspired by that tradition. Payadora has self produced two albums and has developed a loyal following across Canada over the past six years. The ensemble balances a combination of virtuosity and creativity, with stylistic accuracy. The ensemble features a collection of some of the most respected chamber musicians in Canada. Founded in 2013, Payadora has become one of Toronto’s most vibrant and sought-after acts. Their broad scope in tango draws from the height of Buenos Aires’ Tango tradition, including compositions by De Caro, Pugliese, Troilo, and Salgan, to the masterful, contemporary sounds of Astor Piazzolla and beyond. Drawing from eclectic backgrounds in Classical, Jazz, Latin, Eastern European folk music, and improvisation, Payadora’s performances exude technical virtuosity, playful spontaneity, and rhythmic vitality.
PointeTango Dance Company
PointeTango is a unique, “one-of-a-kind” dance company directed by choreographer and dancer, Alexander Richardson and created with lead dancer, Erin Scott-Kafadar. By pushing new boundaries in dance, PointeTango combines the intimacy of Argentine tango with the precision of classical ballet, creating a new dance vocabulary that is both intimate and bold. PointeTango has toured several award-winning full length shows extensively and enjoyed public support with sold-out shows and festival awards such as winning the “Best of the Festival” of the 2019 Saskatoon Fringe Festival.
