Concert and New England Tour
We’ve got a number of exciting events coming up this weekend. First, we’re playing a concert this Friday, December 5, at Dance Union in Somerville.
After the concert, we will host and play live tango music at Milonga Nueva. Saturday we hit the road, performing for dancers in Hartford, CT, and Sunday we’ll play in Amherst, MA. Check out our Events Calendar for more information.
OST at Milonga Nueva
We had a blast playing for Boston dancers last night at Milonga Nueva! Kara Wenham and Javier Antar were in town teaching workshops, and they performed to our music at the milonga. Those guys bring tremendous elegance, grace, and musicality to their dancing, and it was a privilege to play for them. We’ve got video of the songs we played on the Watch and Listen page.
A Weekend of Tango at Amherst College
OST whirled into western MA this past weekend, performing and teaching at the Five Colleges (thanks to Daniel Trenner for bringing us back!). On Saturday, Mari and Tilly led a workshop at Mt. Holyoke College called “Take it Apart and See How It Works: Tango Music From The Inside”, for musicians and dancers alike. Then on Sunday, the fun moved to Amherst College. Tilly and Carlos taught dance workshops before the band’s performance at the crowning milonga that evening. In between the band’s first and second sets, Carlos and Tilly got changed into flashier attire and performed as the featured dancers! Talk about multitasking—they went right back onto the bandstand after dancing up a storm, to roaring applause. Is it fair to call OST a festival in a box yet?
West Coast Tour
OST will play in San Jose, San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles. See the Calendar page for more details, and check out our Facebook page to get updates.
An Evening In Argentina: Tango For All
This Saturday, OST presents a unique event in West Acton, MA: Carlos and Tilly will teach a dance workshop for beginner/intermediate dancers, and then we will play a show, with both a floor for dancing and seats for listening. We’re calling it “An Evening in Argentina: Tango For All”. Come out and help us spread the tango joy! For more information, check out the event page on Facebook.
OST at Amherst College
We are excited and honored to be performing at Amherst College Tango Club’s Spring Milonga, hosted by the great Daniel Trenner. We will be playing the whole night! Dancing starts at 7 pm and goes until 10 pm, featuring live performance by Armando and Nuria too! Plus, we’ll have copies of our new CD, ¡Viva Tango!

Meanwhile, take our OST Insider Quiz, to see how many of the band’s inside jokes and catch-phrases you know.
