Dance Away with Piazzolla

Piazzolla revolutionized tango by infusing it with a new freedom: an urban, edgy, poetic breath where the bandoneon becomes the narrator of raw emotions and melancholic surges.

From the heartrending farewell of Adiós Nonino to the energy of the Aconcagua Concerto emerges a language that is rich, modern, and incandescent. María de Buenos Aires, with its flashes of theatre and mystery, deepens this exploration of a sensual, haunted Argentine capital. For this evening, Gemma New brings together two masters of the bandoneon, William Sabatier and Rómulo Larrea—the latter a key figure in Quebec’s tango scene—to honour both the Argentine heritage and its flourishing presence in Montreal. A vibrant immersion where passion, hypnotic rhythms, and raw emotion converge.
