Colour

In place of the style's accent, in every theme. Deeper by day, softer by night.

Astor Piazzolla

Astor Piazzolla

Bandoneonist and composer. He took the tango off the dance floor and into the concert hall, and Buenos Aires took years to forgive him for it: Adiós Nonino, María de Buenos Aires, Libertango.

In the Press

The world’s foremost composer of Tango music.
Stephen HoldenThe New York Times, 6 July 1992
Now, this is Piazzolla. Don’t ever leave him.
Nadia Boulanger, Paris, 1954Fernando González, Global Arts Live
There’s a lot of nerve in Piazzolla. It can be brutal, violent, and it can be incredibly romantic or sad.
James CrabbAustralian Chamber Orchestra, January 2022
For me, tango was always for the ear rather than the feet.
Astor PiazzollaAustralian Chamber Orchestra, January 2022
