Great Artist Music Series

Founded in 2013, Payadora has become one of Toronto’s most vibrant and sought-after tango acts. Their broad scope in the classic dance form draws from the height of Buenos Aires’ Tango tradition, including compositions by De Caro, Pugliese, Troilo, and Salgan, to the masterful, contemporary sounds of Astor Piazzolla and beyond. Drawing from eclectic backgrounds in Classical, Jazz, Latin, Eastern European folk music, and improvisation, Payadora’s performances exude technical virtuosity, playful spontaneity, and rhythmic vitality. Performing Argentinian/Uruguayan tango and folk music and original compositions inspired by that tradition, Payadora has self-produced two albums and has developed a loyal following across Canada over the past six years.

The quartet features Rebekah Wolkstein, violin, voice; Drew Jurecka, bandoneon; Robert Horvath, piano, and Joseph Phillips, double bass. In the words of The Whole Note, “Each musician is a star soloist in their own right. Playing together has allowed them to develop and mature turning Payadora into a superstar group.” Payadora sells out wherever they travel – join us for this very special event.
