Astor Piazolla Quintett

In the organizer's words:

Astor Piazzolla's music lives on! For over twenty years, the magnificent Astor Piazzolla Quintet has enabled us to experience the works of the Argentinian tango revolutionary true to the original.

On a major worldwide tour in 2025, the multiple Latin Grammy award-winning neo-tango ensemble will present its new album "Oblivion" - but also conjure up some lesser-known pieces that audiences have never heard before.

Their mission: to reproduce the music of the old master as Piazzolla would sound today! As the only formation that has exclusive access to Piazzolla's entire artistic legacy, the five brilliant musicians explore the diversity of an incredible oeuvre.

The international press is talking about the only ensemble that can represent the virtuoso grand master Astor Piazzolla. Influenced by classical music, the composer and bandoneon virtuoso once created a tonal kaleidoscope of rousing rhythms and melodic diversity around the central idea of tango nuevo. He artfully wove the characteristics of a folkloristic style into grand arrangements, creating a legacy that is as provocative as it is stunningly beautiful.

The quintet is now able to bring these sophisticated harmonic structures to a new generation with dedication. Piazzolla's work surprises and fascinates - and is ahead of its time, then as now.
