About The Seven Sins of Tango by Candlelight
Seven Sins of Tango is the powerful and exciting new show for 2026, bringing the smouldering soundworld of Argentine tango vividly to life.
Performed by a 12-piece ensemble from the world-renowned London Concertante, the programme brings the art of tango to life in all its raw, unbridled intensity, with fresh colours from Buenos Aires filling the space with sound.
The concert unfolds across seven musical chapters, each inspired by one of the deadly sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Together, they form a compelling narrative arc that explores the dark origins, passion, rebellion, and irresistible allure at the heart of tango.
The programme features iconic works by Astor Piazzolla (Suite del Diablo – Suite of the Devil), Francisco de Caro (Orgullo Criollo – Creole Pride), and Jacob Gade (Jalousie – Jealousy), with new arrangements by celebrated pianist and composer David Gordon, breathing fresh life into tango’s sensual and fiery soundworld.
Enhancing the music, two champion tango dancers appear on stage at key moments, bringing selected pieces to life through expressive choreography that reflects the emotional intensity of the score.
