Join Fiori Musicali chamber choir, soloist Leanne Roobol, and ensemble as they perform the Misa a Buenos Aires, the Tango Mass, by Argentinian composer and conductor, Martín Palmeri.

MisaTango or Misa a Buenos Aires ("Mass in Buenos Aires") gained much notoriety when it was performed in Rome in October 2013, in the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, during the International Festival of Music and Sacred Art in the Vatican. The MisaTango was chosen that year to pay homage to the enthronement of the former cardinal of Buenos Aires who became Pope Francis in 2013, in reference to the Argentine origins of this former Tango dancer.
Created 20 years ago by the Argentinian composer Martín Palmeri, MisaTango is a choral mass on Tango sounds. It is composed on the same movements as a mass in classical Latin, in which the harmonics and syncopated rhythms of tango are mixed. Fiori Musicali’s performance will include Leanne Roobol as soloist, and an ensemble featuring James Chen, India Smith, Alma Kanety, Stephen Tafra, Arlene Fletcher and Robyn Bradley. The conductor is Stuart Pavel.

Tickets are $30 or $25 for concession.
