| ‘Postcards from Argentina: A Tribute to Argentine Folklore and Tango Pianists’ is presented on Sunday evening, April 19th, by Argentine pianist Claudio Mendez and bandoneon player Bertram Levy. Together, they present a unique tour of the diverse popular music culture of Argentina through music, stories, and video. Mendez arrives from Buenos Aires after an extensive European tour in which he presented his ‘Tribute to Argentine Folklore and Tango Pianists’. He and Bertram Levy, of Port Townsend, have been friends for more than a decade and have toured together in both Argentina and the USA. They are joined on Sunday evening by Al Bergstein, who presents video clips to embellish the stories and imagery. Argentina’s popular music composers have always included wonderful pianists. In this concert, Mendez reinterprets iconic tango and folklore themes, as well as those of lesser-known composers. Mendez said the concert is “a special way to walk through different territories of Argentina music on a journey into this great little cosmos that is the sound of the piano.” The two are to perform classic tango duets. Levy also presents solo compositions not usually heard on the bandoneon, pieces that explore the complex polyphonic potential of the instrument. The concert begins at 7pm on Sunday April 19th at First Baptist Church, 1202 Lawrence St, Washington. Admission is $15. For further information email: info@bertramlevy.com |
