Two Times Two
In 1925, Argentine composer Ástor Piazzolla moved to New York City with his Italian parents. There, he passed his time listening to his father’s records while his parents worked long hours. Recordings of tango orchestras gave way to jazz and classical music, becoming the foundation for nuevo tango, the musical hybrid that later propelled Piazzolla into the spotlight. This eclectic style comes alive in “Piazzolla! A Concert of Tangos.” Two husband-and-wife duos — 8 Cuerdas, featuring Sarah Cullins and Daniel Gaviria, and Annemieke Spoelstra and Jeremiah McLane — join forces onstage, where they present a varied repertoire for voice, guitar, piano and accordion.
