• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  The Misa a Buenos Aires, known as Misatango, is a setting of the mass in Latin by Martín Palmeri. The music uses the style of the nuevo tango and its typical instrumentation, scored for mezzo-soprano, mixed choir and an ensemble of bandoneon, piano and strings. The world premiere was on 17 August 1996 at the Avenida Theatre in Buenos Aires. It has been performed and recorded internationally, often with the composer as the pianist, and is regarded as his signature work.

  History
  Palmeri has been active as a composer, choral conductor, pianist and arranger of tango music. He wrote the mass, beginning in 1995, combining influences from his varied background. The world premiere was given on 17 August 1996 at the Avenida Theatre in Buenos Aires by the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Cuba conducted by Fernando Álvarez; the work was dedicated to the performing choirs, two choirs that Palmeri conducted: the Choir of the Law Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires and the Polyphonic Choir of the City of Vicente López.
