Hear Astor Piazzolla’s much-loved tango music in new arrangements for bandoneon, guitar and strings. The soloists are Jens Lundberg and David Härenstam.
When Astor Piazzolla revolutionised tango, he created a new musical language. His music brings together Argentine tango, classical music, jazz, rock and improvisation.
The concert celebrates the legendary composer with some of his best-loved works. These include Adiós Nonino, Milonga del Ángel and Oblivion.
You will also hear Piazzolla’s concerto Hommage à Liège for bandoneon, guitar and strings. Jens Lundberg and David Härenstam are the soloists, joined by the Dahlkvist String Quintet.
The concert was sold out two months in advance when it was performed at Riddarhuset in 2026. Now you have another chance to experience the music. Whether you missed it then or simply want to hear it again.
