the classical string quartet that personifies tango
Leonardo Suarez Paz leads the double Latin GRAMMY-Award nominated CUARTETANGO STRING QUARTET to the forefront of 21st century Nuevo Tango, following in the footsteps of his mentor, the revolutionary composer Astor Piazzolla. A “virtuoso extraordinaire on the violin” (Wynton Marsalis), he brings forth a new vision of Argentina’s rich culture with an “ingenious musical concept,” (The Day, CT) - the classical string quartet that “personifies and embodies the authentic spirit of Tango” (Latin Grammy).

Leonardo possesses a unique spirit and is a virtuoso extraordinaire on the violin. His knowledge of the tango violin playing conveys a century of styles. Great pizzazz, a superior performance. Suarez Paz … best last names of the tango legacy. Paz's singing voice is gorgeous, so his song was a special treat that brought loud cheers from the audience. |
Personifies and embodies the authentic spirit of Tango. A serious pitch to the black-tie segment. Leonardo Suarez Paz - Tango Master of the 21st Century. That the tango is exportable in its classic form was artistically demonstrated by this concert. The high point was was ‘Fuga y Misterio’ of Piazzolla, notable for its classical antecedents, an homage to Bach and the Baroque, in a superior performance. Suarez Paz is Tango Royalty. |
