The National Chamber Ensemble will present “The Passion of the Tango” on Saturday, Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m. at Gunston Arts Center Theatre I, 2700 South Lang St. in Arlington.

“This is our valentine to you, our audience,” said artistic director Leo Sushansky. “The perfect night to share with your love, or to indulge in your love for exciting, soulful and passionate music.”

As part of the performance by violinist Sushansky, cellist Stephen Honigberg and pianist Carlos Cesar Rodriguez, the evening will include tango-inspired choreography from Lucy Bowen, set to the music of Astor Piazzolla.

“I chose two local dancers with whom I have never worked – Kevin White and Michaela Conroy,” Bowen said. “I think they are so right for what I’ve created, set to the beautiful, sizzling music. With the National Chamber Ensemble playing the music live on stage with the dancers, the audience will experience a feast for the eyes and ears.”

Tickets are $40 general admission, $20 for students, and come with a link allowing unlimited streaming of the concert starting one week following the performance.
