Perspectives - An Orchestra at Your Fingertips (J. P. Jofre)

The bandoneon originated in Germany but has since become synonymous with the world of Argentinian tango, largely through the genius of the great Astor Piazzolla. Acclaimed performer and composer J. P. Jofre, who appeared at the 2019 Staunton Music Festival, talks about what makes this instrument so unique and rewarding. Jofre also performs an original new piece, Transcendence, in an accompanying video.
