Korey Ireland

Korey Ireland is a professional composer turned tango-addict. He  brings a lifetime of musical experience and an unquenchable thirst for  tango to his teaching. Currently based in Berlin, Germany, Korey has spent the better part of the last 19 years traveling and teaching tango in the U.S., England, Holland, Spain, Germany, Russia and Argentina, sharing his passion for tango, music, expression, and connection.  In recent years, this mission has grown to include work with aspiring tango musicians at festival  throughout North America and Europe to create live music for dancers.   In November 2009 he led the "Monster Orchestra" of Tango de los Muertos resulting in a live CD of his arrangements and transcriptions released in later that year.  This project led to the birth of the Community Tango Orchestra project, which in its 9th year now includes about a dozen ensembles throughout the US and Europe dedicated to nurturing the tradition of golden age tango for dancers and musicians.
