Conductor

Tango maestro Pablo Ziegler—the Grammy-winning pianist and composer who helped shape the modern tango—delivers stripped-down, jazz-tinged arrangements of his essential repertoire, offering a raw, elemental concert program. From fiery, improvised solos to delicately woven ensemble playing, the trio delivers unmatched readings of beloved works by Ziegler, as well as modern classics by his late, longtime collaborator Astor Piazzolla. As one the most important living interpreters of nuevo tango, a concert by Pablo Ziegler offers a chance to witness the living history of this vital musical tradition.

The Pablo Ziegler Jazz Tango Trio

Krannert Center for the Performing Arts

Embark on a journey to the outskirts of Buenos Aires with Astor Piazzolla, the creative genius who breathed new life into Argentine tango with his "tango nuevo." His famous works, such as "Libertango" and "Oblivion," are filled with melancholic melodies and enchanting, seductive rhythms. Some of his lesser-known pieces, including those that were performed or premiered in Liège in 1985 in the composer's presence, also carry the same essence. Now, 38 years later, his art will be celebrated by Manu Comté and Pablo Ziegler. Pablo Ziegler, a former pianist for Piazzolla and a leading figure in today's "tango nuevo" as a composer, will be part of this tribute to Piazzolla's legacy.

Salle Philharmonique de Liège

RADIOTANGO is the latest program from Grammy-winning pianist and composer Pablo Ziegler, who was the pianist for tango master Astor Piazzolla for over a decade. Inspired by the contemporary flavor of Buenos Aires and drawing from Pablo’s rich history as the leading exponent of nuevo tango, the program features original compositions from Ziegler that infuse the classical chamber quartet with the invigorating spirit of the tango. From the buoyant and playful energy of “Asfalto”, to the heady and emotional ballad “Maria Ciudad”, Ziegler takes you straight to the heart of Argentina’s glorious capital city.
