The Alluvion World Music Series continues with The Oblivion Project a group dedicated to the exploration and performance of the over 3000 Nuevo Tango works of Argentine tango master Astor Piazzolla.
For the past decade, musicians from all across the Americas have collaborated to explore and share the uncompromisingly unique, unequivocally attractive language of Piazzolla’s tangos. It is based in the musical crossroads of Cleveland.
The group is now blazing trails and carrying the sound-world of Piazzolla with them on their eighth tour of the Midwest. This comes on the heels of several successes, including a sold-out debut at Severance Hall with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, a residency with the nationally-acclaimed Contemporary Youth Orchestra, and a slew of other performances both educational and entertaining at a variety of venues.
