Please join Tango Mercurio for an evening with Lisandro Adrover, a legendary Argentine bandoneonist, composer, arranger and conductor, in a solo performance, "Bandoneon Soliloquy." The prerecorded video, produced by Oliver Kolker and Meredith Klein (from the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School) during the pandemic, includes an interview with Oliver and will be followed by a live online Q&A with Oliver and Lisandro on Zoom.
The concert is free and open to all, but donations to Tango Mercurio, a nonprofit arts education organization, are welcome.
