The Cultural Institute of the Province of Buenos Aires presents a tribute concert to the musician and composer Astor Piazzolla, under the slogan “Winter in Buenos Aires at the Piazzolla”. The musical proposal, which will be in charge of the Ensamble Bonaerense, will take place next Sunday, August 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the Astor Piazzolla Hall of the Provincial Arts Center Teatro Argentino (Av. 51 between 9 and 10).
The event will cover a repertoire of Piazzolla’s most renowned and celebrated works, and will feature Leticia Corral, Gastón Corral, Germán Fredes and Diego Fiamingo as guest artists. Admission is free with online reservation, and will be available from Thursday, August 8 at 12:00 at the Argentine Theatre website.
The Ensamble Bonaerense is a proposal from the Cultural Institute that seeks to recover different musical expressions from the region such as milonga, huella, cumbia, candombe, among others, which are approached from multiple aesthetics with a criterion and an imprint that characterizes them. It is made up of thirteen performers of popular music who come from diverse backgrounds and trajectories, which enables an exchange that enriches the recontextualization of identity traits of the music of the Province.
