Projects
Tango is personal; but it does not mean that we tango alone. Here are the band members who tango with Winnie every day. With an ensemble tailored to your needs, Winnie can indeed bring Buenos Aires to you.
Tango With Winnie
Tango with Winnie produces concerts, milongas, workshops, private events and outreach activities by inviting tango musicians from all over the world to join Winnie in performance.
Balancing friendship with expertise, the resulting energy is explosive and magical. The inaugural Friendship Tour was in 2021, and in 2023, Tango with Winnie completed more than 250 events!
Tango With Winnie Quartet
A fixed formation under the constellation of Tango with Winnie, Tango with Winnie Quartet features Winnie not as a pianist, but as a bandoneonista in a traditional quartet setting.
This elite quartet carries both traditional and modern repertoire that is rarely heard LIVE in North America, with emphasis in late Troilo, Pugliese, Julian Peralta and the like.
Ben & Winnie
Famous for packing the power of an orquesta típica into the compact and elegant setup of a duo, Ben & Winnie injects irresistible energy into the room with tanda after tanda of your favorite styles — Di Sarli, D’Arienzo, Biagi, Troilo, Fresedo, Pugliese and more.
Tamango
Tamango has its heart on building an all-inclusive inter-generational community through live tango music and dance, portably as a module of violin, cello, bass, voice, guitar and piano.
Tamanguitos
Tamanguitos is the brain-child of Tamango, which inspires and guides budding musicians to provide joy and leadership through live tango to their peers wherever they go.
Cuarteto Tanguero
Cuarteto Tanguero specializes in presenting the styles of traditional tango masters, such as D’Arienzo, Biagi, Di Sarli, Pugliese, Troilo and Canaro, in a quartet format — bandoneón, violin or cello, contrabass, piano.
We study historical recordings and manuscripts to distill the essence of tango’s past in order to share all that is universal in tango with our audience. We also present contemporary tango compositions that embody the same essence, such as works by J.P. and Aaron Travers.
With wide-ranging styles of tango at our fingertips, we are ready for every scenario: in concert as a quartet, with orchestra and chorus, tango dance parties, tango shows with dancers and staging, and more.
Cuarteto Tanguero also runs a yearly workshop for musicians and dancers of all ages and abilities focusing on instrumental and cultural practices of tango. We teach online tango classes, as well as commission arrangements and educational materials, such as JP’s manual for tango orchestra arrangement.
Ben Bogart, bandoneón; Winnie Cheung, piano; and two guest musicians from the best of the best!

Tinta China
Tinta China is the way to Tango with Winnie in Canada; the newest Canadian tango band brings live tango music to the west coast from Canada to the US.
You may wonder what Tinta China means. Simply translated as “drawing ink, originally used for Chinese paintings”, it is also a title of a popular tango.
