We welcome our friends and Presenting Partners Parlando back for another fabulous Night Out at Merkin Hall with a program titled "Sidewalk Tango", named such for topic they'll be exploring -- "How are composers able to capture the hustle and bustle of the city?"

For those groupmusers that haven't attended a Parlando event yet, you'll be sure to enjoy the delightful explanations that founder and conductor Ian Niederhoffer gives about about the musical and historical context before each piece--much like at a groupmuse! And because every Parlando program has a theme and contains a blend of new, underrepresented and standard works, expect to hear a combination of composers you definitely know, and maybe learn about a new one also.

The program includes Unsuk Chin’s kaleidoscopic Gougalon, Erwin Schulhoff’s jazzy Suite for Chamber Orchestra, and Astor Piazzolla’s Nuevo Tango Suite Punta del Este, featuring bandoneon soloist JP Jofre.

Though tickets to this concert typically sell for ~$30, we've got a stack at a discounted rate for only $15 (and even less if you're a Supermuser!)

Seating will be assigned. Ticket buyers are instructed to pick up their will call tickets at the box office.
