Artists and Musicians

  Solo Tango Orquesta

Solo Tango Orquesta has taken the tango world by storm. The orchestra is characterised by a perfect sense of style, captivating energy and outstanding sound quality. Solo Tango Qrquesta captivates with an extensive repertoire ranging from Piazzolla's music and Tango Nuevo to the best classics of the ‘Golden Age’, highly appreciated by dancers. This extraordinary range, coupled with playing at the highest level, makes Solo Tango Orquesta an ideal partner for Tango im Wandelgang. The Russian orchestra is the winner of the XXXV international competition ‘Castelfidardo Festival Internazionale della fisarmonica’ in Italy in the category ‘Piazzolla's Music’ (2010) and the 49th International Accordion Competition 2012. It is the only European tango orchestra nominated for the first international ‘Premios Tango’ (Buenos Aires / March 2018). Solo Tango Orquesta has performed in the best concert halls in the world, including the Berlin Philharmonie, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, the Seoul National Theatre, the Moscow International House of Music, the St. Petersburg Great Concert Hall, the Admiralpalast Berlin, etc. Solo Tango is the only tango orchestra that has its own concert subscriptions (concert series) in the most prestigious classical concert halls in Moscow: Moscow Philharmonic Society and Moscow International House of Music.

Michael Nadtochi & Elvira Lambo

Michael Nadtochi has been a professional dancer for more than twenty-five years. He was fascinated by tango from an early age. He studied it with great masters who became his main inspiration. Maestros such as Carlos Gavito, Osvaldo Zotto & Lorena Ermocida, Julio Balmaceda & Javier Rodriguez, Ricardo Barrios and others. helped him to discover his own tango. He drew from many sources and always accompanied the development of tango without losing the connection to its origins. It is therefore not surprising that his skills range from Tango Nuevo to Tango Milonguero. He demonstrates his dancing skills and his rich dance experience in brilliant tango shows and passes them on in his training of dancers and professionals all over the world. 

His dance partner Elvira Lambo is a professional dancer, teacher and choreographer with extensive dance and teaching experience. She has studied and worked in dance styles such as classical ballet, folk dance, modern dance, jazz dance and classical Indian dance. Her interest in tango was awakened in 2009 through contact improvisation. As a talented exceptional dancer, she complements Michael Nadtochi perfectly - the two of them inspire in their performances with extraordinary elegance, precision and artistic charisma. 

In the workshop, they impress with their in-depth knowledge of dance technique, expressive possibilities with music and great empathy for their students. They see their main task as showing students ways to discover their own expression in tango dance.

Bastien Bolon Duret (Lyon)

An excellent dj, a brilliant dancer and tango teacher. Bastien joins us from Lyon. Not to the first time do we collaborate with him. He has been a valuable help at the last Baden-baden Tango Festival. Highly appreciated, well, not only for his dj-ing skills alone, but too for his relentless efforts to dance with any available lady in a beautiful ronda! A much sought after feature in today´s tango!!!
