Symphony of the Americas Performs the Music of Copeland and Piazzolla

Symphony of the Americas presents Dancing Across Borders on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, at 7:45 pm at the Amaturo Theater. Conducted by Artistic Director Pablo Mielgo, the Symphony 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."
