Sunday, June 12, 2005: Tango y algo mas.
A very high-level group, composed by Mario Marzi, the most quoted Italian saxophonist; Marco De Santi, winner of the Geneva International Competition and the Andres Segovia Competition; Sergio Scappini, the only permanent accordionist of Teatro alla Scala and professor at Verdi Conservatory in Milan; Gianni Arfacchia, permanent percussionist of Teatro alla Scala Orchestra.
The group was born from the desire to introduce the music of artists who, starting from musical phenomena of a clear popular character, came to the definition of a universal language, filtering and synthesizing their experiences in a more refined and unmistakably personal writing.

Prestigious "official" ensemble of Teatro alla Scala, which entered the programming in the 2004/2005 season of the Milanese institution and was host of the renowned Radio 3 Suite broadcast.
