It Takes One to Tango!
A Steinway & Sons album release and concert performances
This collection features tango-inspired gems that are largely unknown and mostly world-premieres. The works are by ‘recovered voices’ (those persecuted and killed by the Nazi regime) and living composers, two arenas that have long captured my fancy, centered around a dance I’ve come to embrace. Yes, its title riffs on the phrase ‘it takes two to tango’. Intended as a solo album of tango-inspired pieces, it has taken on special significance during Covid.
Full information about album and artist may be found here. It includes listening clips, podcast interview and e-store links. And now, It Takes One to Tango is also making its way into the concert hall, too! In November, will be at Sarah Lawrence College and the Music on the Edge Series in Pittsburgh with live-streaming here!

Pianist Jeanne Golan continues to offer fresh perspectives on combining standard and contemporary works in innovative ways. Her insightful programming has been noted in the Philadelphia Inquirer, which also describes her "gift and ability to clarify the core of music" and "her trademark lyricism and admirable sense of pace." The New York Times has found her playing to be "technically polished and superbly expressive." »
