Four Winds: Piazzolla – The Soul Of Tango Nuevo
4 April @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm AEDT

Saturday morning dives into the intoxicating world of Astor Piazzolla and the sensual pulse of tango nuevo. Vladimir Gorbach opens with fiery renditions of Verano Porteño and Invierno Porteño, before Sharon Grigoryan and Slava Grigoryan evoke the genre’s shifting moods in Bordel 1900, Café 1930, and Nightclub 1960. Andrew Blanch and vocalist Maria Eugenia Nieva bring tender lyricism to Gardel’s El Día que Me Quieras and Piazzolla’s Chiquilín de Bachín. The program crescendos through Fuga y Misterio and the Tango Suite, culminating in lush ensemble works, Ave Maria, Oblivion, and Fear, echoing Piazzolla’s emotional intensity and rhythmic drive.
