TODO TANGO III A SPECTACULAR EVENING OF SYMPHONIC SONG AND DANCE Pan American Symphony Orchestra Saturday, April 3, 2004 8 p.m. Lisner Auditorium The Pan American Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Sergio Alessandro Buslje, presents an extraordinary evening of symphonic tangos, from traditional tangos to the Nuevo Tango of Astor Piazzolla. Special guest artist, Raul Jaurena, renowned bandoneon player, who recently performed at Carnegie Hall, with the Berlin Philharmonic, and with Yo-Yo Ma, brings the authenticity of the tango of Buenos Aires to the concert hall with his incomparable skill on this most difficult of instruments. He is enthusiastically complimented by the passionate singing of talented Venezuelan, Marga Mitchell, who demonstrates such depth of feeling in her interpretations that you are transported to a smoky cafe near the docks of the port city where tango was born! Of course, no tango show is complete without dancers, and this show features a pair, Pablo & Carolina, who promises to enthrall with their sensual and graceful "jotas" and "ochos"-- steps authentic to Argentine tango. The show features compositions by Argentina's best-known contemporary tango musician, Astor Piazzolla. When Piazzolla returned to Argentina after long stays in New York City and Paris, he transformed the tango into a modern form that was noticeably influenced by classical composers such as Stravinsky and Hindemith, and also by American jazz. At first scorned and rejected in Argentina for what was believed to be a corruption of the nation's most loved music, Piazzolla was responsible for the renaissance of Argentine tango, and by the time he died in 1992, he had written over 300 tango compositions and played to standing room crowds across the globe. Tonight's performance includes Piazzolla's Balada para un loco, Tangazo, Oblivion and Verano Porteño. This concert is sponsored by the George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium. Admission is $24, reserved seating. Tickets can be purchased at the Lisner Box Office, (730 21st St. NW), or by calling the Pan American Symphony Orchestra at (202) 884-9008, or TicketMaster Online Phone Charge at (301) 808-6900.
