Quinteto Astor Piazzolla

Quinteto Astor Piazzolla, four men in black and white image

With five virtuoso soloists, Quinteto Astor Piazzolla explores the vast repertoire of the outstanding Argentinian composer who revolutionized tango.

Following the passing of the renowned Argentine composer and bandoneon player, Laura Escalada Piazzolla founded the Astor Piazzolla Foundation with the mission of preserving and promoting the maestro’s artistic legacy. The Quinteto Astor Piazzolla was formed in 1998 with five outstanding virtuoso musicians who can aesthetically unify under the musical landscape of Piazzolla and Buenos Aires.
