Polly Ferman's GlamourTango Coming to Saint Peter's Church This September

Uruguayan pianist/producer Polly Ferman returns with her elegant GlamourTango, an all-female multi-media music and dance show that pays homage to the women who quietly wrote the pages of Tango from the very beginning. The ensemble of musicians, dancer, and vocalists hail from Argentina and Uruguay. One night only, Saturday September 16, 7 PM, at Saint Peter's Church, Lexington & 54th Street.

In GlamourTango, Polly Ferman has created and produced a stylish production of tango music and dance from South America's Rio de la Plata region. GlamourTango was premiered in Uruguay in 2008 and has since been performed throughout South America, China, and in numerous U.S. cities including Chicago, New York and San Francisco.

The all-female cast of musicians, vocalist and dancers, which hail mainly from Argentina and Uruguay, perform irresistible tango music by Astor Piazzolla, Horacio Salgan, Anselmo Aieta, Pintin Castellanos, Rosita Quiroga, Enrique Mendizabal, Daniel Binelli, and more.
