Laura Turner Concert Hall will crackle with the bracing, sensuous rhythms of tango music as brilliantly imagined by the composer Astor Piazzolla, who brought a new level of sophistication to Argentina’s most famous musical export. Piazzolla’s Aconcagua Concerto will feature Daniel Binelli, an internationally renowned master of the bandoneón, the accordion-like instrument that gives the tango its distinctive sound. The hypnotic rhythms and dynamic orchestration of Ravel’s always popular Bolero will close the evening with a rousing finish.
