Please join us for an exciting Milonga and Tango Concert at Scranton's new speakeasy!
Sunday October 27th, 2019
at Madame Jenny's, 126 Franklin Ave, Scranton, PA 18503
Latin Grammy Award-winner and New York-based composer and bassist
Pedro Giraudo and his celebrated tango quartet are heading to Madame Jenny's Speakeasy in downtown Scranton
Music aficionados and dancers of all levels are invited to attend the highly-anticipated event, with Madame Jenny's
doors opening at 5 p.m. At 6 p.m., members of NEPA Tango will offer a free tango lesson to all attendees followed by Giraudo's highly-anticipated musical performance at 7:30.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Purchase tickets online at https://madamejennys.eventcheckout.com/e/8/latin-grammy-winner-pedro-giraudo
Originally from Córdoba, Argentina, Giraudo is regarded as one of the most compelling tango artists in the world today. His quartet of virtuoso instrumentalists have played the mainstages of the United States, including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center. While their music is made for dancing, it also makes for a superb concert performance.
About Madame Jenny's: Step back in time and visit Scranton during the Roaring 20's, where booze flowed freely despite Prohibition and brothels flourished in what was known as the city's Red Light District. Remotely tucked away in a hidden back room of the historic Bittenbender Building, you can enter the secret location of Scranton's premiere, upscale speakeasy.
Reservations highly recommended
