Our Commitment to Playing Tango as a Vibrant, Living Art FormÂ
The San Francisco Tango Orchestra gives professional and amateur musicians opportunities to perform well-loved and contemporary tango for diverse audiences throughout the Bay Area. We perform at intimate venues up to large concert halls.
The SFTO is founded by SF Tango pianist Sumi Lee, a graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the Orquesta Escuela de Tango Emilio Balcarce, the most prestigious tango music school in the world. Her maestros from Buenos Aires join the SFTO for special performances and workshops.
