Latin GRAMMY Award-winning Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet is one of the most compelling tango ensembles on the scene today. Originally debuted on the Lincoln Center campus in 2015, Giraudo’s collective finds inspiration among the legacy of tango nuevo icon Astor Piazzolla, in the sparkle of American jazz, and European classical traditions, combined into an exciting, contemporary sound that’s been called “an opulent listening experience.” Giraudo’s compositions are powerful and emotional, moving the genre into new territories.
The quartet impresses the listener with a sense of innovation while retaining the lush, sweeping beauty that is tango’s hallmark. As a bassist, Giraudo has performed with Rubén Blades, Paquito D’Rivera, and the New York Philharmonic, but it’s alongside his quartet bandmates—Nicolás Danielson (violin), Rodolfo Zanetti (bandoneón), and Ahmed Alom (piano)—that he shines his brightest. Don’t miss the band that will change your presumptions about tango forever in a performance with special appearances by dancers Mariana Parma and Leonardo Sardella!
The Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet performs in the David Rubenstein Atrium on January 4th at 7:30 pm. For further information, visit the Lincoln Center website.
