The Tango-Fado Project invites you to explore the connections between Argentinean Tango and Portuguese Fado with the unique sounds of bandoneon and Portuguese guitar, featuring four world-class musicians that specialize in the two genres: Daniel Binelli on bandoneon, Pedro da Silva on Portuguese guitar, and Polly Ferman and Lucia Caruso on piano. Although Tango and Fado originate in two distant countries, they are closely related in harmony, melody and theme while differing in rhythm and language. The Tango-Fado Project integrates both genres while going beyond them with exciting new compositions by Binelli, da Silva, and Caruso.
Binelli is widely acclaimed as the foremost exponent and torchbearer of the music of Astor Piazzolla, having been a member of Piazzolla's New Tango Sextet, and of Osvaldo Pugliese's Orchestra. Ferman is one of the leading interpreters of the music of the Americas, having been featured as a soloist with some of the greatest orchestras in the world, and her numerous recordings constitute one of the world’s most extensive collections of Latin American repertoire. Caruso is the founder and artistic director of the Manhattan Camerata – an innovative classical / World music chamber orchestra – and a pianist and composer whose music has been featured in several films and been performed all over the world. Da Silva is an eclectic composer who teaches courses at NYU and MoMA, and has performed in over a dozen countries on 18 different instruments such as sitar, mandolin, bouzouki and various types of guitar. He is the music director of the Manhattan Camerata.

Artists
Binelli-Ferman Duo
World-class musicians Daniel Binelli and Polly Ferman have united their talents to develop and further the appreciation of the tango, milonga, Candombe, and other Latin American musical forms in the rarely heard partnership of the bandoneón and piano. Their performances reflect the elegance and the subtlety of the traditional tango, the sauciness of the milonga, the romance of the waltz, and the temperament and power of the contemporary tango.
The Binelli-Ferman Duo's ability to reach out to their audiences in conversation and through music has made its performances an amazing experience for concert enthusiasts worldwide. Since their debut in January 2000 in NYC, they have toured extensively throughout the world including performances in Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Rome, Paris, Munich, Berne, and Saint Petersburg, as well as in New York City, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, and Miami. In addition to concert appearances, they have presented master classes on the music of Argentina and the tango in the United States, Canada and in cities throughout Japan and China.
The Duo also performs as featured artists with chamber and symphony orchestras worldwide in a project called "Orchestango", that highlights the music of Binelli, Piazzolla, Salgán, and Ginastera, among others. Recent appearances have been with the San Francisco Symphony, Colorado Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, Hong Kong City Chamber Orchestra, The Montevideo Philharmonic, the Symphony of Concepción, Chile and the symphonies of Mendoza and Parana in Argentina. The Duo has recorded for Romeo Records and Epsa Music "Imágenes de Buenos Aires", "Orquestango" 1 and 2 for Sondor Records with the Montevideo Philharmonic and "New Tango Vision" with the Binelli-Ferman-Isaac Trio.
