Tango and Tradition

Sophie Rosa Violin
Milo Milivojevi AccordionAccordion sensation Milo Milivojevi joins Sinfonia Viva in music by Piazzolla, Brahms, Bartk and Albniz and things are about to catch fire.Thought you knew the accordion? Think again, because when Milo Milivojevi plays the humble squeezebox, he shoots for the stars. Milivojevics artistry on the button accordion took the breath away wrote one critic; for another, hes simply a hurricane of imaginative invention. Accord for Life is his personal motto, and in his hands the accordion crosses continents and centuries, creating new sonic worlds. In this unique collaboration with Sophie Rosa he travels from the dance halls of Buenos Aires birthplace of the tango to the gypsy campfires of Eastern Europe. Every note will be alive with colour; we cant wait to make music with him, and to share it with you.In other words, hes exactly the sort of guest we love here at Sinfonia Viva. Milo and Sophie have put together a parade of melodies that burn with the same kind of exuberance and passion. Expect untamed folkdances from the Carpathian mountains, sultry showpieces from Hungary and the haunting melodies of Spain - as re-imagined by Brahms, Bartk, Sarasate and Albniz. Plus, of course, the nuevo tango of Astor Piazzolla; music as tuneful as it is sophisticated. They say that it takes two to tango. But this afternoon, at the Museum of Making, anything is possible, and everyone is welcome.Tickets 15/ 5 concessions
