Celebrate Astor Piazzolla’s centenary with the Argentine composer’s Aconcagua. Beethoven’s First Symphony caps the program.
Astor Piazzolla, born a century ago, revolutionized the Argentine tango with urbane sophistication. His Aconcagua — named for an Andean mountain — is alternately pensive and streetwise in spirit. Giancarlo Guerrero leads a program bookended by Buxtehude’s Chaconne, vibrantly orchestrated by Mexican composer Carlos Chávez, and Beethoven’s witty and confident First Symphony.
Tickets range from $32-$222
