From Bach to Piazzolla
with the Borealis String Quartet and the Bergmann Duo
2021 marked the centenary of the great Tango composer, Astor Piazzolla and we are delighted that we can finally mount a concert combining his tangos with some of the most beautiful music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach’s music was one of the main influences on the Argentinian composer and this concert will include the Bach’s Concerto for two keyboards in C major. We are excited to join forces with the dynamic Borealis String Quartet for this very special showcase and celebration.
