SAINT LOUIS, MO.- The
Saint Louis Art Museum welcomes Tango Lorca, a Kansas City–based band, to Grigg Gallery February 27 at 7 p.m. The free performance is part of the Museum's Art After 5 series, which features solo and ensemble musicians the fourth Friday of each month.
Tango Lorca will be playing the music of Ástor Piazzolla and his contemporaries. Piazzolla was an Argentine tango composer and bandoneón player. Visit the Museum for an evening of Argentine nuevo tango, which incorporates elements from jazz and classical music into traditional tango compositions.
