The spirit of crossing borders followed Astor Piazzolla throughout his whole life, and he created a synthesis between the traditional danced tango of Argentina and influences from classical music and jazz in his compositions, his so-called "Tango Nuevo". Come join us in an exploration of how the classical world came into Piazzolla's own, and the incredible influence his music had on composers as far flung as Russia and Georgia.
