Tango will be part of Brighton Interview concert
Violinist Kamila Bydlowska and pianist Olga Paliy join together for a Brighton concert in the International Interview Concerts series.
Richard Amey, of The International Interview Concerts charity, said: “The name of Astor Piazzolla is increasingly cropping up on concert programmes.
“His specialist Argentine tangos are bonding with British audience taste for a pinch of foreign holidaysounding nostalgia, perhaps craving a cameo of Hispanic dance floor passion. Piazzolla’s signature piece,
Libertango, even made it into the Last Night of the Proms.
“Violinist Kamila Bydlowska is one of those modern musicians specialising in more than one genre.
“Witness her in action at Music & Wine at St Luke’s, in Brighton’s Queen’s Park Pepperpot on Friday, September 24 (7.30pm). She’ll be pairing with pianist Olga Paliy in a presentation mixing not only Argentine Tango with standard 19thcentury German, French, Latvian and Russian classical, but also inter-war jazz Broadway tweaked from a 1990s vantage point.
“Bydlowska recently completed the world-first recordings of the English violin concertos by William
Wordsworth and Arnold Griller. She also plays in the string Trio Klein.
“And as a member of London’s Tango Terra Kuarteto, an authentic dance band featuring bandoneon (accordion), bass, piano, guitar and violin, and popular across the southern third of England, Bydlowska is a Pole among three native Argentinians.
“In Brighton, she and Paliy – a Ukrainian with a solo career in London – will perform Piazzolla’s 1988 filmscore tango Vuelvo Al sur (I’m going back to the South), from director and lyricist Fernando E Solanas’ film, Sor.”
Tickets are priced £7 and will be available on the door; £5 under-25s.
