Thursday Music Nights - Libertango

The SIMA Classics Foundation invites you to a concert as part of the “Thursday Music Evenings” series featuring the Los Cafe Quartet—a unique encounter with tango music, in which the accordion takes center stage. The artists will take the audience on an emotional journey from classic Buenos Aires melodies to contemporary compositions inspired by tango, jazz, and world music. The program will feature works by legendary tango composers, including Astor Piazzolla, Carlos Gardel, and Richard Galliano, as well as compositions by Henry Mancini, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Paquita D’Rivera, and Gerardo Matos Rodríguez. The audience will hear, among others, the famous “Libertango,” “Oblivion,” “Adiós Nonino,” “Por Una Cabeza,” and the timeless “La Cumparsita.” Selected pieces will be accompanied by a dance performance by a couple from the Alfa-Astra dance school in Stargard. The combination of live music and expressive dance will create an evening brimming with elegance, passion, and the distinctive atmosphere of tango. Piotr Szulc will serve as your guide through the world of tango. His narrative will explore the history of this music, which originated in Buenos Aires and conquered stages around the world—music that is passionate, elegant, and full of longing, rhythm, and unique emotions.
