Fri 9/2 @ 8PM
The Underground Classical concert series taking place at Praxis Fiber Workshop’s gallery, with a roomful of looms in the background, features the Oblivion Project playing the Nuevo Tango of Astor Piazzolla.
Since the Cleveland-based group, featuring graduates of the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Oberlin Conservatory, and the New England Conservatory, among others, was founded in 2003 that’s been its mission: to build its performance from the more than 3,000 of the Argentine tango legend’s works. It’s performed at Severance hall with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra and done a residency with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra, bringing the music to new audiences. It’s also toured throughout the midwest, expanding its reach geographically as well.
The show at Praxis is free, part of Underground Classical’s mission, to bring music to non-traditional venues and audiences.
