My name is Saul Zaks and I am a professional conductor and musician from Buenos Aires, Argentina, living in Denmark. A multilingual – Spanish, Hebrew, English, Danish, Scandinavian – providing music to life and inspiration to souls.
I develop projects, attitudes and patterns of behaviour with the aid of unique communications skills and trustworthy leadership in order to create performance-based results and relations. All this is being achieved while communicating the way of organising a society that is based on values such as positive energy, proactivity, thinking, learning by intuition and creating by being a musician.
My motto “Conductor – human – cooperation” helps to inspire and enrich, to move and innovate, selecting strategies that create shareholder value.
Cultural norms, social and environmental entrepreneurship and cross-cultural communication are important to me. And music. Always.

Ensamble TANGO XXI
We offer an enriching pedagogical and artistic experience that provides aesthetical, expressive and technical knowledge of Tango music.
The training follows an intense pedagogical activity, proposed by university institutions.
We will explore and deepen through research the questions and challenges of the Tango genre, while contributing to the production of new works created by the students, as well as the editions, recordings, concert programming and dissemination of these new compositions in platforms and media.
