Tango Siempre Septet Concert, London – UKby Rob Howard |
Tango Siempre Septet, featuring Julien Rowlands on the bandoneon and guest operatic soprano Ann Liebeck, perform in concert on Sunday September 6th, 7.45pm, at the Purcell Room, London. In the 1950s Piazzolla shook up the world of traditional tango with his new style termed ‘nuevo tango’, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. Although controversial during his lifetime, he soon became an important musical figure and is now known as one of the world’s foremost composers of tango music. This concert features Piazzolla’s rarely performed vocal tango ballads, plus instrumental works by classic tango masters of the Golden Age of Tango. The concert also features a guest appearance by baritone Nuno Silva and tango dancers David and Kim Benitez. |
