Four Seasons of Buenos Aires

0 upcoming performances in New York

Astor Piazzolla’s *Four Seasons of Buenos Aires* reframes the familiar Vivaldi idea as four urban portraits, written in the language of tango and mid-century Argentine modernism. At David Geffen Hall, the New York Philharmonic performs the suite as part of a matinee program that also moves through seasonal music associated with winter holidays. Naomi Woo leads, with Wendell Pierce and violinist Frank Huang among the featured artists. Heard in New York’s concert halls, the work has become a case study in how tango crossed into classical repertory without losing its edge.
