In recognition of National Hispanic Heritage Month in September, our concert celebrates Argentina’s musical spirit.

Inspired with the visit to Philadelphia by Pope Francis, his own Latin origins, and the humanity of his world vision, we present

 ~

AN ARGENTINE MUSICALE

devoted to intimate and exceptional classical music of Argentina

Soulful lyricism and powerful rhythms are at the core of works by Carlos Guastavino, Alberto Ginastera, Maximo Diego Pujol, Jose Luis Merlin, and Astor Piazzolla. Together, they comprise a journey into Argentine culture, from its folk music, poetry, and the elemental tango, into its 20th century passions, with instrumentation of violin, viola, piano, guitar, and marvelous songs for tenor voice.
