Chloë Pfeiffer

Born in 1985, Chloë Pfeiffer began her music education at the age of 4. A pianist and harpsichordist, she is also an orchestrator and arranger. Her studies at the conservatories of Toulouse and Paris provided her with solid abilities in music writing and culture, tools she has been using for her music since her adolescence. Simultaneously, she thrives in the universe of popular music and specializes in Argentinian Tango.

Native of Tarbes, Chloë got interested in Tango during her teenage years while attending the festival of Tarbes en Tango. She studied with Alfredo Marcucci and Roger Helou, two masters of Argentinian Tango, who endowed her with a taste for traditional repertoire and with stylistic knowledge, as well as inclination to creating her own arrangements. On the other hand, regular attendance at the festival served as an opportunity to meet some of the greatest musicians of the scene, to play with them, and to absorb all that the world of Argentinian Tango has had to offer over the past fifteen years.  

Chloë launched her first Tango orchestra at the age of 14, for which she wrote her first arrangements. In 2010, she founded Orquesta Silbando in Paris where she plays the role of an arranger as well as musical and artistic director. With its two recorded albums and numerous concerts all across Europe and Argentina, Silbando has been recognized as one of the most important Tango orchestras.   

Being a pianist and a performer, Chloë is often invited to join in diverse ensembles, theater plays, musical comedies and shows. Performing bands regularly ask her for new Tango arrangements.

A wish to share has accompanied Chloë throughout her musical career: her knowledge of Tango styles as well as experience in pedagogy and music direction regularly brings her to conduct courses in Tango orchestra (Brittany 2014, Ardingly (GB) 2015, Tarbes 2015-2017, Toulouse 2015), lessons for tango dancers and workshops dedicated to Tango composition addressed to high school students who choose a musical option.
