Cuarteto SolTango is a well known young band of classical musicians who play from original tango scores.

In the year when Astor Piazzolla would have turned 100, it is the perfect time for the group to release ‘Mision Tango’. The Cuarteto SolTango epitomises the next generation of authentic tango, combining the luscious sound of a traditional orquesta t pica with the verve of true chamber musicianship. With the unique combination of violin, cello, bandone n and piano, they connect the Argentine Tango of the “Golden Age” with the tradition of chamber music concerts.

They interpret a wide variety of classic tango styles ranging rom icons such as An bal Troilo, Juan d’Arienzo and Lucio Demare right up to the pioneers of the Tango Nuevo, Osvaldo Pugliese and Horacio Salgan, in alluring arrangements by Martin Klett.

Since it was founded in 2008, the quartet has been invited to perform repeatedly at the music festivals of Schleswig-Holstein and Oberstdorf, thereby launching their musical brand at outstanding classical venues. 

Since then, the four have played at a number of international festivals - most recently at the innovative Grachtenfestival in Amsterdam, the Heidelberg Spring and the Studio Concert series at Bavarian Broadcast, Munich. 

Following their debut album, they published their second album Cristal in 2015, collaborating with the German National Broadcasting (Deutschlandfunk) and the chamber music label CAvi. Rave reviews by Rondo and The Strad magazines, but also in the Tangodanza magazine proclaim their great success in the classical market as well as the international tango scene. The third album Sin Palabras was released in 2019.
