PITTSBURGH—The University of Pittsburgh's Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), a component of the University Center for International Studies, along with Med Health Services and Pittsburgh Cardiovascular Institute will present the Octavio Brunetti Quintet in the fourth annual "The Americas-In Concert." The free public concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 1 in the Richard Rauh Theater in the Hillman Center for Performing Arts at Shady Side Academy Senior School, 423 Fox Chapel Rd., Pittsburgh.

 

Created by Octavio Brunetti, Tango pianist and arranger, the quintet combines the traditional roots of Argentine Tango in its purest form with the style of the Tango Nuevo. The quintet has performed in some of Argentina's best-known venues, including the famous Teatro Colón and Teatro San Martín in Buenos Aires and Teatro San Martín in Córdoba.

 

"The Americas-In Concert" is a series of annual concerts sponsored by Med Health Services and Pittsburgh Cardiovascular Institute in collaboration with the Center for Latin American Studies to promote the development of local and national professional musicians, while exposing Pittsburgh's general public to the musical works of the Americas, from North to South.
