MITV returns to the venue that hosted our very first concert! Anchoring this program is Brahms’ late masterpiece for clarinet preceded by an MITV commission from 2005 by Miguel del Aguila: Salon de Buenos Aires is a nostalgic musical trip to 1950”s Buenos Aires, full of carefree Brazilian Sambas, melodramatic Tangos and maniacal Milongas.
