Tango – And All That Jazz presented by Epsom Symphony Orchestra

Get your feet tapping with the rhythms of the Epsom Symphony Orchestra’s Tango…and all that jazz!  Featuring three compositions from Gershwin, including his iconic Rhapsody in Blue which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects. Our soloist is international prize winning, London born pianist J P Ekins.

Changing the tempo, Piazzolla’s Soledad brings classical influences to the tango, while his Libertango revolutionised tango music with the incorporation of elements of jazz and classical music to a traditional tango composition.

Marquez’s Danzon no. 2 is likely the most famous Mexican orchestral composition outside of Mexico. Its rhythms & melodies can be heard in popular Cuban salsa and Jazz.
