Pannonica Quartet
De geschiedenis van de tango blijft in
beweging. Het Pannonica Quartet
brengt de essentie uit de Gouden Eeuw
van de Tango terug met zijn vier saxofoons.
Op zoek naar de belangrijkste elementen
die ervoor zorgen dat een danser over de vloer
gaat en de geluiden die emotie oproepen bij de
luisteraar, heeft Pannonica Quartet zich verdiept
in de arrangementen van traditioneleorkesten
en een unieke interpretatieve stijl ontwikkeld.
Het Pannonica Quartet, bekroond met de
Doble Ocho International Tango Competition-prijs,
trad op in verschillende steden van Nederland, Spanje, België, Frankrijk en werkte samen met internationale bekende artiesten als Gustavo Beytelmann en Arno Bornkamp. Hun repertoire omvat arrangementen van de traditionele tango-orkesten zoals Tanturi, DiSarli, D’Arienzo, Canaro, Troilo en Pugliese, en hun eigen persoonlijke interpretaties van Piazzolla.

Arno Bornkamp is one of the frontrunners of the classical saxophone, worldwide: solo-playing, chambermusic,
teaching at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, organizer of the festival SAX14 etc. Passion is his trademark.
Arno has a big passion for Tango as well: as a member of the Aurelia Saxophone Quartet he was part of the
groundbreaking project ‘Tango Nuevo- Contrasaxeando’, together with the Argentinians
Juan-Pablo Dobal (piano) and Gustavo Toker (bandoneon). This project (CD and concert-tour) was
almost entirely dedicated to the music of Astor Piazzolla. Arno had one of his most memorable musical
meetings with this Maestro of Tango in Amsterdam in 1992, just before he sadly passed away.
Miguel Ortega is originally from the city of Barcelona, where his musical careertook the first steps.
Eventually music bring him to live in Lyon, France, and later to the Netherlands,
where he studies in both the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and Codarts Rotterdam.
Miguel, always attracted by music from singer song writers, and folk music from Spain
and Latin America, grows his influence by this music until Tango music also reaches deep
on him. His saxophone is always in search of voices as Mercedes Sosa or Francisco Fiorentino.
