The Tango Collective: the Piazzolla project

The Tango Collective is a new collaboration by four musicians to create a programme celebrating the music of Argentinian tango composer Astor Piazzolla.

Piazzolla was born in 1921 and after studying in Paris was at the forefront of the nuevo tango movement. He incorporated elements from classical music and jazz in his compositions and created some of the most exciting, moving and passionate music. This Piazzolla evening will feature some instrumental pieces as well as classic songs, such as Libertango and Oblivion, in new arrangements.

The Tango Collective features singer William Ludwig, Musical Director Dean Austin and the outstanding talents of Beatrix Lovejoy, violin and Ben Chappell, cello.
