Stephen Cuttriss has been praised by the media as one of “Australia’s heavyweight tango musicians” and a bandoneon player who “ignites the sonic soundscapes of Argentina on this unique instrument. He explores the roots of both urban tango and rich rural folk traditions”

Currently based in Melbourne but with a past in Brisbane and with a habit of regularly visiting and spending time in Buenos and Argentina, Cuttriss has shaped his career around the tango and performed at a number of important venues in Melbourne and beyond, including at the Melbourne Recital Centre. On 13th July, 2019, in a warm and intimate setting, Cuttriss and band delivered a faithful rendition of the Argentinian tango during an evening dedicated to Tango Mania, at Open Studio in Northcote.
