Astoria’s music is vivid and vibrant. It talks about love, pain, hope and melancholy. The ensemble will sweep you up in a maelstrom of sensations around the timeless oeuvre of Astor Piazzolla.
The group revisits, in a fresh and dense manner, the “tango Nuevo” standards, which cover a large spectrum of sentiments ranging from tender malice to soft nostalgia, including overwhelming joy. They make us travel from the Buenos Aires outskirts to the warm grounds under the tropical flora.
The ASTORIA musicians are all Royal Conservatory graduates, international competition winners or members of large orchestras. The ensemble imposes its identity thanks to its energy, its rigorous rendition and the emotion brought forth by its interpretation. While demonstrating the quality of Piazzolla’s texts, the group makes sure the rhythmic and melodic enchantment of the originals is preserved.
Since its creation, the ensemble has presented Astor Piazzolla’s music on the greatest Belgian and international stages, also participating in various festivals (Brussels Summer Festival, Basilica Festival van Vlaanderen, Bugari Festival, Musiq’3 Festival, Castelfidardo Festival (Italy), International Music Festival of the Cyclades (Greece)….
