We associate the sweet, sensual sound of the bandoneon with the music of Latin America and the work of Piazzolla, in particular. Richard Galliano, for many the world's finest virtuoso on the accordion and the bandoneon, joins the Athens State Orchestra in his dual capacity as composer and soloist to provide Athenian music-lovers with a unique opportunity to enjoy the singular timbre of the accordion and the bandoneon live and in a solo role.
