        This Saturday, July 30th, Tango Houston presents Midsummer
        Tango!  Enjoy a concert featuring Glover Gill and his
        string quartet, which will also include tango performers,
        then dance to the orchestra's music following the concert.
        Place: Virtuosi of Houston Studio, at Memorial City Mall,
        near Target.  Doors open at 6:30, and concert begins
        at 7:30, so please arrive early in order to be seated
        in time.  Dancing afterward until 11:00.  Tickets $10.
        For advance reservations, call 713-661-7123 or email
        <susan.young3 at att.net>.  Midsummer Tango seems to be the
        talk of the town.  Tango dancers appeared on Fox 26 News
        last Monday, Midsummer Tango was discussed on a weekend
        radio show on KLOL (101.1), and this coming Friday, July
        29, an interview featuring Glover Gill will be aired on
        the Front Row Show (88.7FM KUHF) starting 3:15.  Midsummer
        Tango is partly funded by a grant from the Cultural Arts
        Council of Houston/Harris County.  Your support will ensure
        that Tango Houston continues to provide entertaining and
        educational tango events for our community.

        Richard Ebbs adds: Friday at 3 p.m.... on KUHF radio
        (88.7FM) Glover Gill will play tangos, and he and I will
        talk about tango, Argentine culture and the upcoming July
        30 Midsummer Tango concert and Milonga, with Bob Stevenson,
        host of Front Row, KUHF's afternoon arts feature show. Not
        to be missed!

        Robert and Valerie Schoenberg and Victor Collins invite
        everybody in the Houston Tango Community to a  Giant
        August Birthday Party and All Houston Milonga to be
        held on Saturday, August 27th.  We plan to have a first
        class event in a new, spacious venue, so don't miss it.
        Details will be announced soon.  Mark your calendars!

        Martin & Natia have canceled their Friday class for this
        week only, as they are performing with the Houston Ballet
        on Thursday and Friday.
