Latin Grammy-winner Pedro Giraudo and his acclaimed Tango Trio return for BridgeMusik's special virtual presentation of “The Story of Tango.” The Trio (with Rodolfo Zanetti, bandoneon and Ahmed Alom, piano) will be joined by renowned musicians from Lincoln Center and Broadway orchestras: Tanya Witek (flute), Krystof Witek and Kevin Matson (violin), Desiree Elsevier (viola) and Fred Zlotkin (cello). The cast of over sixty includes many special guest performers such as Bob McGrath from Sesame Street, Juilliard faculty member Carol Wincenc and talented students from our local schools. The program traces the history of the tango and includes new commentary by our featured artists. The footage is a combination of brand new recordings created by the artists from their quarantines around the world, as well as footage which was recorded live in 2019 in the beautiful acoustics of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Pearl River, NY. The music will include works by Albeniz, Canaro, Petersburski, Piazzolla and Giraudo. Pedro Giraudo’s original tango music has been described as “a very moving, passionate, even daring statement, building a bridge between tango’s glorious past and its even brighter future.” (The New York City Record Review, June 2018). The Story of Tango was originally scheduled to be performed live on April 5, 2020 at the historic Tappan Reformed Church. BridgeMusik is grateful to Orange and Rockland Utility Company for a Community Investment Grant to partially support this project. The broadcast will be premiering free for anyone to enjoy but we do appreciate your donations to support the work of BridgeMusik: https://bridgemusik.com/support
