Tango night at the Atrium
The Latin Grammy Award-winning tango quartet, Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet, one of the genre’s most captivating ensembles on the scene today, arrives this Thursday at Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium (61 West 62nd street, Manhattan).

With special appearances by dancers Mariana Parma and Leonardo Sardella and images by photographer Erin Patrice O’Brien. Free. At 7:30 pm. More information:https://www.lincolncenter.org.
