If you love tango and are looking for an intimate encounter with the music of Buenos Aires featuring the best works of Astor Piazzolla, such as “Adios Nonino’’ and “Oblivion”, don’t miss the opportunity to hear this powerful music, so rich and so full of swing. About Astor Piazzolla Composer, arranger, and bandoneón virtuoso Astor Piazzolla (1921–1992) was inspired by American jazz and concert music to revolutionise the Argentine tango. His “nuevo tango,” with its intense melancholy and harmonic and rhythmic innovations, enraged traditionalists but became highly influential among musicians and music lovers around the globe. One of the world’s leading violinists and conductors, Gidon Kremer, says of Astor Piazzolla’s music “You can sense through his music an experience that makes you at the same time joyful and sad. And saying these two words, ‘joyful’ and ‘sad,’ I could say as well that the striking combination of two extreme emotions go together in Astor’s music as they do in Franz Schubert’s music. I know very few composers where you can feel it in such a passionate way.” Gen $35 - Cc $30 - Stud $25 Bookings: http://marcelafiorillo.iwannaticket.com.au/ or at the door
