Quinteto Astor Piazzolla

After the composer’s death, the Astor Piazzolla Foundation was formed with the objective of bringing his legacy to the public. Laura Escalada Piazzolla decided to create a new ensemble with five virtuoso soloists capable of interpreting the vast body of work left by the composer who revolutionized
tango.

The Latin Grammy Award winning ensemble (Best Tango Album 2019) marks a departure from their previous efforts with their new album „Operation Tango“.

The quintet has toured the world for more than 20 years (Montreux Jazz Festival, Philharmonie de Paris, Jazzopen, Ravenna Festival, Chicago Symphony Orchestra Hall, Berklee Performance Hall, Umbria Jazz Festival, Jazzfestival Basel and numerous concerts in South America among others). It has been acclaimed by the international press as the only musical ensemble with the ability to represent the unique and inimitable style of the great Astor Piazzolla.
