Tango with Winnie Sextet

Welcome back Tango with Winnie to PianoForte!  Home of the legendary Fazioli piano and great acoustic! Winnie is back with a tremendous sextet featuring the music of Julian Perialta, author of no less than 14 albums in recent years, the hottest living tango composer in Argentina today.  This is the last stop of our international tour!

Tango has deep magic: it reawakens memories of the body and of the mind; it tolerates differences; it shares cultures.

Convinced of tango’s power to include everyone, pianist-bandoneonista-dancer Winnie Cheung launched Tango With Winnie to bring live tango dance and music to both classic and unconventional tango corners of the world: concert halls, milongas, art galleries, farmers markets, K-12 schools, universities, dementia homes, assisted living spaces, prisons, town-wide multicultural celebrations, and more.

With veteran artists that Winnie brings from all over the world, Tango with Winnie handcrafts each program towards any imaginable objective of your event, and invites you sincerely to tango, whoever you are, wherever you are.

Winnie has played well over 1,000 tango events in the USA, Canada, Asia, Argentina, even Antarctica. For 2023, Winnie completed a record 250+ events. Her album with Cuarteto Tanguero, Guapeando, charted Top 10 Billboard World Music in 2018. The second album with the duo Ben & Winnie, La Próxima Traición (2020), was born in the heat of the pandemic. The newest album Ventarrón (2025) was the first featuring Winnie as bandoneonista and pianist.

Originally from Hong Kong, Winnie is a globetrotting musician holding a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Chicago and Masters and Doctorate from the Eastman School of Music in Piano and Music Composition. She taught classes in music composition, theory, piano, choir, and music appreciation from ages 5 to 95 in Canada/USA until tango found her.
