The Romano Viazzani Ensemble brings together seven outstanding musicians from the worlds of classical, jazz and Latin-American music to play and create tango and tango-inspired music.

Based on the line up of Astor Piazzolla’s famous quintet they recreate music that ranges from Piazzolla’s own works to classic Argentine and European tango. They also arrange music in the style of tango and write their own original tango-inspired music with a twist of swinging London.

Since then they have successfully toured all over the UK and in 2024 embarked on a research and development project, funded by Arts Council England, filmed by renowned film director Mike Figgis and viewable on the ensemble’s YouTube Channel, as a first step towards a tango-musical feature film based on the London tango scene. The ensemble usually performs with two renowned guest singers varying between Argentinian tango singers and singers from the world of musical theatre and opera.
