Chicago’s Third Coast Percussion and dancer-choreographers Lil Buck and Jon Boogz (together known as Movement Art Is) began this project remotely during the COVID-19 lockdown, a time that gave a special resonance to ideas of shared human experience.

Théo Ould has revitalized the accordion’s place on the concert stage: performing iconic piano works in a different light, commissioning bold new pieces, and crafting programs that transport audiences across continents and centuries. In this program, he pays tribute to composer and bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla, pairing that composer’s works with his “obsessions,” inspirations, contemporaries, and current-day composers inspired by the tango master.
