Tango Talk with live music in the festival marquee

BS1 6XJ

<p>A celebration of the Argentinian composer Astor Piazolla. You will be introduced to Piazolla’s tango music by Bristol based bandoneon and accordion player Mirek Salmon.</p><p>He is a member of Moscow Drug Club and Tango Calor but also tours nationally with  the Welsh National Opera and has even appeared on cheesy Renault TV adverts squeezing his accordion! In this event he discusses Astor Piazzolla’s enduring musical legacy. Find out about this barber’s son who caused fights in his own concerts, who had to sell his instrument when he was penniless in Italy and whose music electrified both jazz and classical music lovers. Mirek will also be playing music on the bandoneon (the instrument Piazzolla performed on) alongside Carola Hengstenberg on violin.</p>
