By: Sharon Ruchman In her original piano solo composition “Slow Tango,” Ruchman explained that she wanted “to capture a couple dancing closely with great feeling and attention to their every movement, and to each other. The piece is melodic and emotional.” In her “Milonga” tango, Ruchman performs on piano and is accompanied by renowned cellist Mary Costanza. To highlight the beauty of this composition, Ruchman produced a YouTube video featuring famous Argentinian tango dancer and instructor Alex Krebs and dance partner Jenna Rohrbacher. “The Milonga,” she explained, “is a type of tango that moves quickly and is very rhythmic. Milonga also refers to a place where Argentines meet in a hall to dance the tango, and often to a live group of local musicians. They gather to socialize with their friends and enjoy a nice meal together." As creator of both the song and video, Ruchman commented, “Viewers can easily see how provocative the music becomes when two dancers make it come alive.” Inspiration for Ruchman’s two original tango pieces was her grandmother. “She was born in Argentina and I feel a deep connection to the music of that country. The Argentines are passionate about this magnificent dance, and there are many variations within the tango allowing each dancer to create their own steps and style. It has become an extremely popular dance internationally, and when I studied the tango for a few years, I was able to realize its complexity and great beauty.” The just-released “A Bit of Tango and More….” CD by Sharon Ruchman features 11 additional original compositions including track #1, “Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano in G Minor” which is performed by Ruchman on piano, cellist Mary Costanza and violinist Kiwon Nahm. “Frolicking” Known to enjoy using imagery in her music, Ruchman commented that, “Frolicking’ A graduate of the Yale School of Music and New England Conservatory of Music, Ruchman sang for many years with several major choruses including those associated with the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestra.
