The Romano Viazzani Ensemble
The Romano Viazzani Ensemble brings together seven outstanding musicians from the worlds of classical, jazz and Latin-American music to play and create tango and tango-inspired music. Based on the line up of Astor Piazzolla’s famous quintet they recreate music that ranges from Piazzolla’s own works to classic Argentine and European tango. They also arrange music in the style of tango and write their own original tango-inspired music with a twist of swinging London.
The London-based ensemble released its debut album London Tango in 2020.
Come and celebrate Europe day with some outstanding music including:
Libertango
Oblivion
Por Una Cabeza
London Tango
Tango Italiano
Sunflower seeds will be handed out on the day to the audience, the national symbol of Ukraine.
European, Ukrainian and Council of Europe flags welcomed.
