In the evocative setting of Palazzo Metternich, seat of the Italian Embassy in Vienna, a prestigious musical event took place on 30 April, featuring the Quinteto Revolucionario of the Astor Piazzolla Foundation, an outstanding ensemble dedicated to the artistic legacy of one of the greatest Argentinean masters of the 20th century.
Organised in collaboration with the Embassy of Argentina in Austria, the concert was a unique opportunity to celebrate the deep cultural bonds and sincere friendship between Italy and Argentina, two peoples – as recalled by Ambassador Pugliese in his opening remarks – united by their passion for culture, art and traditions.
In the presence of the Argentinean Ambassador to Austria, Gustavo Rodolfo Zlauvinen, the audience could immerse themselves in the unmistakable sounds of the tango nuevo, in homage to the genius of Astor Piazzolla, whose musical language – as the Italo-Argentine music producer, Cristian Axt, pointed out – continues to resonate strongly in the international artistic scene.
The event underlined, once again, the central role of music as a bridge between peoples and as a privileged vehicle for intercultural dialogue.
