Music in the Round Concert: Tangodromo

From jazz, blues and the spirit of tango, to the US giant of minimalism John Adams, this lunchtime concert draws on the diverse musical traditions of the Americas.

Adams’s bright and rhythmic, pulsing string quartet sits alongside Argentinian bandoneon player JP Jofre’s intoxicating Tangodromo, which begins with an explosion of energy and moves towards a haunting conclusion.

Finally, a work from Cuban maestro clarinettist Paquito D’Rivera, whose monumental work for piano and clarinet draws on jazz and blues, and pays homage to the 'King of Swing', clarinettist Benny Goodman, the bandoneon, and the spirit of the tango.
