Themes of farewell, grief, and despair run through this semi-staged concert, leading to a transformation of hope and happiness. The Gürzenich Orchestra ensemble combines string quartet sounds with accordionist Marko Kassl, immersing mezzo-soprano Ursula Hesse von den Steinen's voice in new colors. The program spans a musical cosmos, from Renaissance music to avant-garde Salvatore Sciarrino, baroque opera arias, Billie Eilish, and Astor Piazolla's tango.
Choir and tango? And even a liturgical text together with the most sensual of all dances, how does that fit together? Very well, as you can hear in this concert. In fact, it is a concert of discoveries. Because when do you ever hear a bandoneon in a concert hall? The sister of the accordion was invented in Chemnitz and began its triumphal march when the bandoneon made its entrance into South American tango orchestras at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, it has become indispensable and in Argentina it is praised as "the best German invention". String orchestra, bandoneon, piano, and our Philharmonic Choir - let yourself be carried away into a musical world full of passion, pride, and sensuality!
Due to the high demand, we are organising an exclusive Tango Late Night following the chamber concert "Argentinian Tango"! The Argentinian tangos from the first concert will be supplemented by further tangos in a varied line-up.
Accordionist Félicien Brut with four musician friends of his generation form an apt quintet for this tribute to nuevo tango, a style sparked by Piazzolla in the 1960s.
Hardly any other dance is so sensual, melancholic and at the same time full of joie de vivre – this concert, titled »Viva el tango«, is devoted entirely to the »Tango argentino«. In the spotlight: Carlos Gardel, one of the most brilliant tango composers of the 1930s, and Astor Piazzolla, who decisively developed the virtuosic Tango Nuevo of the 1950s. The highlight of the evening: a thrilling dance performance by renowned artists Karin Solana and Andres Sautel.

The Cuarteto Rotterdam, a leading European tango ensemble, is praised for its technical brilliance and interpretive depth. With bandoneón, violin, piano, and double bass, they deliver a sound experience between tradition and modernity. Joined by singer Noelia Tomassi and dancers Andrés Santel and Celeste Medina, they present a wide repertoire of tango history. From Amsterdam to Buenos Aires, they've captivated audiences with their passion and virtuosity, embracing both traditional and contemporary tango, including Astor Piazzolla's works.
