Orchestra del Tango de Buenos Aires


The Orquesta del Tango presented a homage to Astor Piazzolla, on March 13, 2015 at the Usina del Arte. Follow the link below to see a great video about Usina del Arte. This great cultural center was created from an old abandoned generating station. Notice in the video the use of the bandoneon which is a form of concertina which has now become associated with tango music.
The composer Astor Piazzolla was a notable performer on the instrument. His compositions, which include three concertos as well as orchestral, chamber and solo works, introduced the bandoneon to concert audiences.
