HANCOCK -- Folias Flute and Guitar Duo from Grand Rapids will present a concert at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1, at the Orpheum Theater in Hancock.

The duo -- Carmen Maret on flute and Andrew Bergeron on guitar -- play jazz, chamber music and tango. These talented musicians combine their classical music training, their experience as tango bandleaders, their love of Astor Piazzolla and their knowledge of the jazz idiom. They have performed in concert halls and clubs and for tango events across the U.S., Europe and Argentina. In June 2012 they performed at the Jutila Center in Hancock to an appreciative audience. They're back -- this time to perform at the Orpheum!

Music starts about 8:30 p.m., and $10 gets you in (or $8 if you're a student or senior citizen).

The Orpheum Theater (Studio Pizza) is at 426 Quincy St. in Hancock.

Keweenaw Social Dance to offer two Argentine tango workshops Sept. 5, 6 in Calumet

CALUMET -- Keweenaw Social Dance will host two workshops of Argentine tango in their Calumet studio at 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Sept. 5 and 6. Each workshop will be followed by an open dance at 8 p.m.

Braden Giacobazzi, former vice president of the Michigan Tech Social Dance Club, will be coming to the Keweenaw to teach some of his very well polished Argentine tango. He excels in this dance and is a great teacher. Take advantage of this a once-in-a-year opportunity to learn the tango or to improve your dancing skills. Casual dress and somewhat slippery shoes are a good thing to have for these occasions.

Admission is $10. The studio is at 333 Fifth Street in Calumet. Call 906.370.9532 or email keweenawsd@gmail.com for more information.
