New York, NY - Uruguayan-American pianist and Music Director Polly Ferman and her acclaimed GlamourTango, Tango in Feminine Form will be in concert on Tuesday, July 29 – 8:00 PM at Queens Theatre, 14 United Nations Avenue South, Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York. This will be the opening of the theater’s 2014 Latino Cultural Festival.

GlamourTango is a celebration of tango in feminine form, performed by an international company of world-renowned female musicians, dancers, and vocalists. This unique multimedia music and dance show, conceived by Polly Ferman, and directed by her from the piano, is a tribute to women in Tango, with an all-female cast. It includes clips from 1940’s-era black and white Argentinean films and takes the audience on a musical journey through the 20th century with a different and renewed vision of the role of the woman in Tango.
