Mirek Salmon - Bandoneon
Mirek Salmon is an experienced accordionist, pianist and bandoneonist. His busy freelance career has seen him perform with BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Welsh National Opera and the Royal Shakespeare Company amongst others. He came to the world of tango fairly recently but in that time he has performed at milongas and tango festivals up and down the country as well as in France and Italy. He has studied bandoneon and tango music with some of the finest players such as Rodolfo Mederos, Pablo Jaurena and Julian Hasse. He has also attended the prestigious Tango for Musicians in Europe run by the organisation Tango Sin Fin. Mirek is a keen educator and ensemble leader and can’t wait to bring Bristol’s arm of the Creative Caminito project to life.
Carola Hengstenberg - Violin
Carola Hengstenberg is a Bristol-based violinist who has been classically trained in both violin and piano from the age of three and has toured with classical amateur orchestras in countries such as China, Japan and Costa Rica. Over the years, she developed a particular passion for small ensembles and spent several years studying string quartet music under Vladimir Kovalev, former solo violist of the Moscow Contemporary Music Ensemble. Recently, Carola’s enthusiasm for tango music and dance has led her to explore different styles, both traditional and alternative tango. She has several years of experience of performing at UK tango events and festivals with various tango musicians and ensembles, such as Cabaret Tango, Tango Calor and her recently-formed Duo de Cuerdas. Together with Tango Calor's bandoneonist Mirek Salmon, Carola is really looking forward to getting the first Bristol Community Tango Orchestra - part of the Creative Caminito project - off the ground.
