On this week’s episode of Prairie Performances, we explore the music of Astor Piazzolla—an Argentinian composer whose innovative works brought tango into the realm of classical and jazz. 

Our all-Piazzolla program includes Histoire du Tango, Vayamos al Diablo, “Verano Porteño” from Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires), Libertango, and Oblivion.
