GlamourTango, a group showcasing female artists in Tango, will perform on Wednesday May 11, 2016 – 7:00 PM at the Cutting Room, 44 East 32nd St. in New York City.  The doors open at 6:00 PM with tickets priced at $25 (Advance) and $30 (Door Sales).

GlamourTango presents a multimedia show of music and dance, theatrical set and lighting, created as a tribute to those women who quietly wrote the pages of Tango from the very beginning. This is a unique approach within the Tango style, since all performing artists are female.

GlamourTango was conceived and is directed by Uruguayan-American pianist and Musical Director Polly Ferman.  This passionate celebration of women in Tango consists of an Internationally renowned musical quartet as well as dancers, and a vocalist takes the audience on a musical journey through the 20th century, showcasing a fresh and renovated vision of the role of women in Tango.

Shinjoo Cho is the group’s bandoneonist. She is also a pianist and accordionist and a versatile solo and ensemble musician embodying many musical traditions. Her musical path began with piano in her native Korea at the age of five. After immigrating to the US in 1991, she continued her study with Peter Coraggio in Hawaii and later with Ingrid Clarfield in Princeton, New Jersey, where she studied piano performance and pedagogy at the Westminster Choir College. During this time, she won numerous scholarships and competition prizes and performed at the Carnegie Hall. Shinjoo traveled to Serbia for an immersion in Balkan music and studied bandoneón in Argentina.

She has collaborated with international music, dance, and film artists in multidisciplinary projects. Equally at home with classical music, she participated in the Marlboro Music Festival under the direction of Leon Fleisher and performed with the Cleveland Orchestra in 2012 at the Severance Hall.

Currently, Shinjoo splits her time between Buenos Aires, Argentina and the US, performing extensively as a bandoneonist and pianist. She is a principal bandoneonist and assistant director of Orquesta Tipica La Hannibal and in May 2015, she performed as a solo pianist at the inauguration of Centro Cultural Kirchner, which was broadcast live on Argentine national television.
