The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra continues its series of chamber music concert with a programme devoted to music by the Argentinian composer Astor Piazzola (1921-1992) performed by string quartet and accordion.
Programme
The musicians promise to take you on a journey to the sensational and exhilarating world of Piazzola’s Nuevo Tango (New Tango). The Nuevo Tango was an innovative, contemporary style of Tango created by Astor Piazzola (1921-1992) through the merging of his classical music education, the Tango tradition of the first decades of the 20th century and jazz which was very popular at the time. Piazzola’s Nuevo Tango was fiercely attacked by the purists of the classical Tango. Piazzola brought novelties to the Tango in stylistic features such as the rhythm, harmony, use of counterpoint, new sound effects and instrumentation. His works burst with the pulse and the soul of Argentinean Tango, and speak to the heart with emotions of nostalgia, sensationalism and passion, melancholy mingled with joy. By the 1970s tango as music, poetry and as life-style became once more revived and recognized thanks to Astor Piazzolla and has become a part of the global cultural heritage.
