Concerts › AOTANGO

Andrew Beer (violin), Lorelle McNaughton (piano), Gordon Hill (double bass), Sam Swindells (guitar) & Grayson Masefield (accordion) present ‘A Century of Tango’ traversing the evolution of tango from the classics of Ángel Villoldo & Carlos Gardel to the nuevo tango of Ástor Piazzolla.

Performing in Piazzolla’s original quintet formation, A Century of Tango traverses the evolution of tango from beloved classics such as Ángel Villoldo’s El Choclo, Carlos Gardel’s Por una Cabeza, and Gerardo Matos Rodríguez’s La Cumparsita to the revolutionary nuevo tango compositions of Argentinian maestro Ástor Piazzolla. ‘Ao’, meaning ‘world’ in te reo Māori, is at the heart of AOTANGO.
