Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet

Stephens Performing Arts Center

A combined Pops/Classics program - Latin GRAMMY Award winner bassist and composer Pedro Giraudo is among the most compelling tango artists today. After two decades performing with the most important interpreters of tango, Pedro Giraudo debuted his own Tango Orchestra at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing in July 2015 and since then has become an active cultural ambassador of this beautiful and passionate music of his native Argentina.

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.

Multi-Grammy-nominated violinist Philippe Quint and members of the world-class, Chicago-based Joffrey Ballet celebrate tango legend Astor Piazzolla in a performance of music and dance.
Lauded by The Times (London) for his “bravura technique and unflagging energy,” Philippe Quint is internationally praised for his unique takes on classical core repertoire, support of contemporary composers and passion for giving new life to neglected works. For this celebration of Argentine composer and virtuoso bandoneón player Astor Piazzolla, Quint collaborates with the renowned Joffrey Ballet, one of the premier ballet companies performing today.
The year 2021 marked the centennial of Astor Piazzolla. The single most important figure in the history of tango, Piazzolla created a whole new musical genre based on Argentina’s national dance. Breaking boundaries and revolutionizing traditional tango, he introduced the world to tango nuevo: a fusion of tango, jazz, klezmer, and classical music. The Piazzolla style is bold, unique, immediately recognizable, and utterly irresistible.
Join us as Philippe Quint and his Quint Quintet are joined by the members of Joffrey Ballet to perform some of Piazzolla’s most iconic works as part of a narrative tracing the musical and personal journey of an extraordinary musician. Come and discover the man whose life story was, in his own words, "one of both angels and demons."
