Fiesta!

​A programme full of vibrant and effervescent music, characterised by a blend of French, Spanish, and Argentine influences, from Viardot and Françaix to Debussy and Turina, culminating in the rich colours and sounds of the tangos of Piazzolla, who found so much inspiration during his time spent as a student in Paris.
