Drink in the fall color and spirit of two musical revolutionaries, Astor Piazzola and Franz Schubert. Both from humble beginnings, each composer found their own unique voice and musical expression leaving behind a vast legacy of inspirational music. Piazzolla revolutionized the traditional tango and Schubert revolutionized the depth of expression the human human voice could reveal through song as he bridged the classical and romantic eras of western music. Piazzola’s every popular Oblivion and Libertango will get your toes tapping only to be calmed by Schubert’s subtle an engaging “Arpeggione”. The concert will end with Schubert’s “Octet”, a tour de force work for winds and strings that has often been hailed as the greatest work in classical chamber music.
Our signature cocktail for this concert will be the Schubert Sangria.
