The Quinteto Astor Piazzolla, the official legacy ensemble dedicated to preserving and celebrating the music of the legendary Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, are set to perform their first UK show for 25 years at London’s Barbican next summer.

Formed in 1998 under the guidance of his widow Laura Escalada Piazzolla and the Astor Piazzolla Foundation, The Quinteto Astor Piazzolla features five virtuoso instrumentalists - Pablo Mainetti (bandoneon), Matias Feigin (piano), Serdar Geldymuradov (violin), Armando de la Vega (guitar) and Daniel Falasca (double bass) – whose electrifying concerts explore the groundbreaking Argentinian composer’s vast repertoire including timeless classics like Oblivion and Adiós Nonino.

The one-off concert at the Barbican in July marks a rare UK appearance for the quintet and an opportunity for fans of Piazzolla and nuevo tango to experience the deep passion and innovation of the maestro’s music.
