Astor Piazzolla’s Heritage - The Magic of the Tango in the Piano Music of Saul Cosentino

Cosentino’s piano selections are wonderful contemporary recital repertoire and represent excellent contemporary pedagogical material. Cosentino synthesized Piazzolla’s tango with Western musical aspects, defining the avant-garde tango for piano. His music employs extended harmonies, jazz components, counterpoint, and dissonance. This lecture-recital will offer a performance of Cosentino’s most significant piano works together with selections of composers who inspired and influenced him. 

This event will be streamed here.

The event will be available for view until February 6th. The content of this event cannot be reproduced due to copyrighted material.
