Argentinian violinist, company artistic director, “tango royalty” (All About Jazz UK), and mentee of the great Astor Piazzolla, Leonardo Suarez-Paz returns to the Levitt Pavilion with his award-winning program, PIAZZOLLA100. In his role as the Artistic Director of Nuevo Tango Arts, Suarez-Paz is redefining tango for the 21st century while uniting people through its art and culture. Join us on an interactive, fleet-footed journey through the history of tango, charting its golden age in the 1940s and 1950s to the present-day nuevo tango renaissance.
