THE 5/4 TANGO ENSEMBLE

The 5/4 Tango Ensemble was founded by pianist Ljudmil Angelov in 2021 for the global celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Astor Piazzolla. The formation brings together some of the most prominent and world-famous classical musicians of our time. A very important role is played by the first Bulgarian bandoneon player, Stojan Karaivanov, who has already been invited to perform with many different bands at festivals and concerts in Bulgaria and Europe.

The 5/4 Tango Ensemble has appeared in concert programs at high-profile festivals such as Apollonia, European Music Festival, and Piano Extravaganza. In partnership with the Fames Musical Institute, the ensemble delivered a master class in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia, in September 2023, where the performers worked with young musicians from all over the world and presented their new project, 5/4 Tango and Symphony Orchestra.
