The Piazzolla Orchestra consists of six extraordinary talented soloists and chamber musicians. Each of them highly qualified, all of them well known in Denmark and abroad for their work on the classical as well as the jazz music scene. The Piazzolla Orchestra’s concerts are packed with the swinging walses, dramatic songs and fiery fugues by the Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla. His music has often been associated with the tango because both derives from the city of Buenos Aires.

Since The Piazzolla Orchestra premiered in 2012 before a full house at Frederiksværk Music Festival in Copenhagen, they have been invited to stage the opera Maria de Buenos Aires at the Copenhagen Opera Festival and to perform at Tivoli Festival, Bornholm Culture Week, the opening

of Bergen International Music Festival in 2013 and again in 2016.

The Piazzolla Orchestra’s concerts are packed with the swinging walses, dramatic songs and fiery fugues by the Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla. His music has often been associated with the tango because both derives from the city of Buenos Aires.

But Piazzolla’s music is all its own! Piazzolla himself described it as “the music of Buenos Aires”. It springs from the tango but is much more refined, inspired by European composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach.

The Piazzolla Orchestra has devoted itself to this music unconditionally!
