This new style, known as nuevo tango, expanded the genre&#8217;s boundaries and gained international acclaim. Although he initially faced resistance in his native Argentina, Piazzolla achieved global success, collaborating with artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Gidon Kremer, and Gary Burton. In 1960, he formed a quintet with which he recorded and performed many of his most iconic works. This ensemble\u2014bandoneon, piano, violin, guitar, and double bass\u2014remains central to the performance of his music to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Quinteto Astor Piazzolla was established in 1998 by the Astor Piazzolla Foundation with the mission to preserve and promote the Maestro\u2019s artistic legacy. The ensemble is the only one with full access to Piazzolla\u2019s complete archive, performing his works in their original arrangements from the authentic scores.<\/p>\n<p>The concert is presented in collaboration with A to Jazz Concerts.<\/p>\n<p>The event is part of the Intermezzo programme, a joint initiative between the Varna Summer International Theatre Festival and Varna Summer International Music Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>04 June, 20:00 Festival and Congress Centre Bandoneon Pablo Mainetti Double Bass Daniel Falasca Piano Nicol\u00e1s Guerschberg Violin Serdar Geldymuradov Guitar Armando de la Vega Duration 90 min.
