1. Piazzolla’s Libertango & Grieg’s Holberg Suite

Swap your usual evening plans for a night at the Avon Theater in Lakeview.

Take your seat in the historic theater and be transformed into an intimate and inspiring performance by some of Alabama’s finest musical talent.

The Alabama Symphony Orchestra will be performing Piazzolla’s Libertango and Grieg’s Holberg Suite, featuring a violin solo by Daniel Szasz. 

“Libertango” isn’t just any old tango piece. Piazzolla took the traditional tango and gave it a serious makeover.

He mixed in some classical vibes, threw in some electric guitar and flipped the script on the rhythm. The result? A whole new genre called tango nuevo.

Plus, brace yourself for Edvard Grieg’s Holberg Suite. This piece is like a musical time machine back to the days of Ludwig Holberg’s birth.

Grieg goes all out, capturing the vibe of Holberg’s era with different dance styles and fancy music tricks that were all the rage back then.
