This is what happened to the young Argentine \u00c1stor Piazzolla when he met the legendary teacher Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Aspiring to become a composer of classical music, Piazzolla long concealed his love for tango, but it was Boulanger who encouraged him to turn back to what was the true essence of his art. Thus was born the \u201ctango nuevo\u201d* movement, in which the Argentine tango tradition merged with the principles of classical music and the new ideas of the 20th century.   <\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">Alongside this story, the program also explores other connections between music and the spoken word. Andr\u00e9 Previn\u2019s song cycle, based on texts by Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Toni Morrison, reveals the composer, pianist, and conductor\u2019s ability to sensitively convey poetic text through music. Works by Gabriel Faur\u00e9 and other composers continue the tradition of French chamber music, in which subtle expression, the beauty of the melody, and the mutual sensitivity of the performers are of paramount importance.  <\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">This program is presented by three prominent Lithuanian musicians\u2014soprano Asta Krik\u0161\u010di\u016bnait\u0117, cellist Gleb Py\u0161niak, and pianist Milda Umbrusevi\u010di\u016bt\u0117. These performers from different generations are united by their many years of stage experience, their attention to the nuances of chamber music, and their ability to forge a close connection with the audience. <\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">* \u201cTango Nuevo\u201d (Spanish for \u201cNew Tango\u201d) is a progressive movement that emerged in the 1980s. It fundamentally transformed traditional Argentine tango by incorporating elements of contemporary dance, jazz, and classical music. <\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">Asta Krik\u0161\u010di\u016bnait\u0117 (soprano), Milda Umbrusevi\u010di\u016bt\u0117 (piano), Gleb Py\u0161niak (cello)<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">Program: A.
