Under the direction of Maestro Sergio Alessandro Buslje, the Latin Grammy-nominated Pan American Symphony Orchestra presents a concert of symphonic tango with two US premieres! Concierto de Nacar for tango ensemble and orchestra by the master of nuevo tango, Astor Piazzolla, features his signature yearning melodies and extended harmonies with soaring solos throughout by guitar, violin, and cello. Latin Grammy winner, Argentine pianist Pablo Estigarribia performs his Tres Tangos Concertantes, imitative of the classical concerto form in three movements, depicting a vast range of character inspired by traditional Argentine tango and American jazz. Rounding out the program is Tangazo for Symphony Orchestra by Astor Piazzolla, first performed in Washington, D.C. in 1970. It's an edgy tango that opens with searing harmonic intensity and lyrical episodes with pronounced horn solos. Experience the irresistible exuberance of the tango in an evening of erotically charged rhythms and lush melodies of symphonic tango!
