Canberra Tango Quintet presents 'Echoes of Piazzolla: The Experience' - an immersive audio-visual experience of the legendary musician's music and life.

'Echoes of Piazzolla: The Experience' combines an exquisite program of Astor Piazzolla's repertoire with archival imagery, tracing his journey across New York and Buenos Aires to becoming one of the most renowned musicians and composers in history. 

Experience Piazzolla’s music in his trademark ensemble that revolutionised tango and classical music – the quintet. A perfect balance of instrumentation accompanied by authentic artistic interpretation, witness Canberra Tango Quintet perform on the very instruments for which Piazzolla's music was written: bandoneón, violin, electric guitar, piano, and double bass. Canberra Tango Quintet is a five-piece Australian-Argentinian-Uruguayan tango ensemble based in Canberra, Australia.
