Austin Piazzolla Quintet

When: Sun., Sept. 16, 7 p.m. 2018

Drawing on the nuevo tango movement spearheaded by the late Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, this Texas-based quintet plays a mix of tango classics and originals that touch on jazz, chamber music and South American folk songs. APQ founder and violinist James Anderson says that tango, like jazz, truly comes alive when it’s played for an audience. The quintet has the chops and the interplay to bring the necessary fire to this genre.

Price: $10-12
