Symphony of the Americas to Perform the Music of Copeland and Piazzolla, Conducted by Pablo Mielgo
From Tango to ballet, and distinct geographic cultures, their music shaped their homeland's musical voice.
Join Principal Conductor and Artistic Director Pablo Mielgo on Tuesday, February 21, 7:45 pm at the Amaturo Theater as Symphony of the Americas performs Aaron Copland's and Astor Piazzolla's music and sounds, which were defined by the portraits their music painted. From Tango to ballet, and distinct geographic cultures, their music shaped their homeland's musical voice.
Referred to by his peers and critics as "the Dean of American Composers" Copeland's arrangements are what many consider to be the sound of American music, evoking the vast American landscape and pioneer spirit.
Argentine composer, arranger, and bandoneon player, Piazzolla transformed traditional tango music by incorporating elements from jazz and classical. Music critic Stephen Holden once described Piazzolla as "the world's foremost composer of Tango music."

Venue: Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts at 201 SW 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312
