Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet: from Tradition to the Future at Energia Internacional

This program includes selections from great tango masters from the 1930s to the present: Alfredo Gobbi, Francisco Canaro, Osvaldo Pugliese, the revolutionary Astor Piazzolla and evolving even further, Pedro Giraudo. In this program, the ensemble offers the audience insight into how tango evolved from marginal venues to cafes and dance halls, and finally to prominent concert halls. The musical journey will be accompanied by short anecdotes about the main figures in the history of tango, as well as some explanation of the principal rhythms of the genre (milonga, waltz, and tango). This event is presented by Rites of Spring Music Festival in collaboration with North Fork Arts Center in the frame of Energia Internacional program.
