This November, SOI Chamber Orchestra presents a programme inspired by the tango. The highlight of the programme will be the India premiere of “Misatango”, by the Argentinean composer Martin Palmeri.
Composed in 1996, Palmeri’s Misa a Buenos Aires “Misatango” blends elements of the traditional mass form with characteristics elements of the Argentinean tango. In this way, the latin text acquires new expressive forms – the piece transitions across melodics lines, harmonies, and the typical rhythm of the genre, without taking away the solemnity that the religious craft requires. The vast variety of melodies makes this piece attractive and very enjoyable to the audience at large.
The programme on November 13, 2018 at 7pm, at the NCPA Mumbai will include works of Astor Piazzolla, considered the foremost composer of tango music. These pieces will feature soloists from the SOI, as well as Dario Polonara on bandoneon, with Evgeny Bushkov as conductor.
The show will also feature the Goa University Choir as well as The Bangalore Men & is supported by the Consulate General of Argentina in Mumbai. In the past, the expressive melodic variety & vigorous character of the piece has delighted performers and audiences alike & this show is likely to be no exception.
