Per Störby is the musical motor in New Tango Orquesta as composer and artistic leader. He have developed a unique mix of fugues, counterpoint, improvisation, dynamic, minimalism and baroque music. The very newest music investigates, even more far-reaching, all possibilities in the ensemble's acoustic sound palette, with more accent on the art- and chamber music than before.


NEW TANGO ORQUESTA

Since the beginning in 1996, New Tango Orquesta have, on five albums and a countless number of international tours up to now, with the composer Per Störby as a leader, explored and developed the concept of "nuevo tango". With their unique mix of baroque music, tango, free improvisation, minimalism and romantique, they have gained territory all over the world with their special sound. Their focused performances are a complete acoustic, dynamic, and musically masterpiece one should never miss.


Swedish New Tango Orquesta have released five albums: "The New Tango Orquesta" 1998, "Part II" 2000, the Swedish Grammy nominated "Bestiario" 2005 and the recently released "The Kiev Concert" and "Vesper" 2009. They have made lots of music for movies and tv-series, "The return of the dancing teacher" (Henning Mankell) and "Sketches of Frank Gehry" (Sidney Pollack) among others. They have made music for several dance- and theatre plays. They have toured all over the world, done performances on rock venues in Moscow, tango venues in Buenos Aires, jazz clubs in Istanbul and concert halls in Beijing.
