Tango primavera mit dem Fine Arts String Quartett auf dem Kunsthof Galm
The Tango program of the Fine Arts String Quartett from Berlin combines classical virtuosity with lively joy of playing and takes the audience on a colorful journey through the world of tango, opera, and salon music. Well-known works such as the Habanera from Bizet's Carmen, Albéniz's "Tango," Gardel's "Por una Cabeza," as well as Piazzolla's "Oblivion" and "Libertango" meet upbeat evergreens like "Tico Tico" and "Blue Tango." This creates a varied afternoon full of rhythm, elegance, and lightness – a musical spring greeting in many colors.
