Orchestra 2001 will partner with celebrated bandoneónist Shinjoo Cho to perform Piazzolla Centennial: Lo que vendrá (What's to come), a marathon celebration of master composer and bandoneónist Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992). In addition to Piazzolla’s music, the evening will include composers and teachers who influenced him: Béla Bartók, Duke Ellington, and Alberto Ginastera. It will conclude with the premiere of Hombre by the contemporary Argentine composer, Diego Schissi.
The performance will be presented as an in-person and live-streamed event. Ticket holders are welcome to enter and exit the Teatro between pieces throughout the evening. The audience will be limited to 50% capacity in the Teatro, and masks are required throughout the event regardless of vaccination status.
