Argentine Music
An Illustrated Recital in celebration of Argentine National Day
This Illustrated recital means to be a journey enlightening the history and content of the Argentine Music landscape, from its aboriginal roots influenced by so many aesthetic trends to the evolution and creation of several generations of composers who made it possible the existence of Argentine Music.
This Argentine Music History synopsis goes from 1800 to the middle XX century and it means to be a journey through young performers' piano repertoire.
It is a voyage through the main characteristics of musical panorama, traditional dances and folk rhythms, going from composers who were the expression of the Nationalism upholding the gaucho as cultural symbol opposed to the culture fragmentation produced by European immigration, to the evolutioned language of Ginastera, Piazzolla and his New Tango revolution, as well as contemporary trends.
