Celebrate Valentine's Day at the Royal Room Seattle with the power and passion of Seattle's premier Argentine tango quintet, Tangoheart. Tangoheart returns after their previous pre-pandemic sellout Valentine shows at the Royal Room.
This year's show, "A Piazzolla Valentine," features works of the iconic Astor Piazzolla plus two of his greatest contemporaries: Osvaldo Pugliese, and Piazzolla's first boss, Anibal "Pichuco" Troilo.
Tangoheart is led by bandoneonista Bertram Levy and highlights Andy Carr on piano, Ruthie Dornfeld on violin, Dorothy Shapiro on viola, and Todd Gowers on bass.
