Hamburg Stage Ensembles
Michael Dolak - bandoneon
Arsen Zorayan - solo violin and conductor
Astor Piazzolla's tango resounds in the dark night - full of passion, longing and rebellion. An angel and a devil meet on the dance floor. Their dance is a game of contrasts: Gentle and demanding, tender and challenging, a constant struggle between heaven and hell. The bandoneón sings of love and pain, while their steps tell the story of an eternal duel. On this night, good and evil merge into a single, breathtaking melody - La Noche del Tango.
The Hamburg Stage Ensemble is made up of young, highly qualified instrumentalists who together pursue the vision of not only playing music, but also communicating it. The joy of playing together takes centre stage. The small ensemble and the conscious decision not to have a conductor means that the audience can participate directly in the concert.
Once again, violinist Arsen Zorayan will be the soloist and artistic director, and once again the audience will be taken on a journey through the four seasons - but this time the composer is not Antonio Vivaldi, but Astor Piazzolla. Multifaceted, exhilarating tangos and ballads by Piazzolla and other Latin American composers will also be heard in the second part of the programme, for which the Hamburg Stage Ensemble has been able to secure the outstanding bandoneonist Michael Dolak as a soloist.
