Leonardo Suarez Paz’s PIAZZOLLA 100 is a multidisciplinary performing arts organization that showcases a groundbreaking new style that draws on the common roots of Tango, Jazz, and Classical Music, as shaped by the culture of African and European migration to the new world. The project is named after Leonardo Suarez Paz's mentor and family friend, Astor Piazzolla, the Argentine-born and New York-raised composer who revolutionized the world of 21-century music and honors his legacy by demonstrating the genre as a complex, evolving art form while challenging artistic and sociocultural constructs.
Our mission is to further Nuevo Tango, its evolution, and its relationship with Jazz, Classical, Contemporary and popular genres across all disciplines and as an art form that builds and inspires unity and freedom of expression, through live performances, exhibits, recording, film and education and by fostering the creation of new work and cross-cultural collaborations.
We celebrate Latin, African, and European cultural heritages, and the contributions of immigrants and women to the genre while relating its history to Buenos Aires and New York City and affording an opportunity for artists and audiences across generations and cultures to share in a renewed artistic idiom of inclusion and unity.
Our programming includes music, dance, and multidisciplinary work as the main components with the addition of poetry and song, visual art, film, and education. The company, under the artistic direction of Leonardo Suarez Paz, brings together a diverse group of artists and contributors and includes the 2xLatin Grammy Award-nominated Cuartetango string quartet, Cuartetango Music & Dance, Symphonic Tango program for Chamber Orchestras, Nuevo Tango with an 11-member Nuevo Tango-Jazz Ensemble and Nuevo Tango Ballet under the direction of Olga Suarez Paz.
We are an artist-run organization, bringing together a diverse group of artists and reaching a wide demographic of audience members through public performances, education, and community outreach. Over the past decade t we brought together over 50 artists and contributors and over the past 3 years, we cerated six distinct productions and 25 events including concerts, outreach, master classes and digital programming. We've reached over 20,000 audience members and 90% of our programming is accessible.
We believe in the power of art and the connection it creates for us as human beings. The pandemic was a very dark time for the arts and we, the artists, found a way to thrive and support each other and our communities. Since the start of the pandemic, we held 16 live performances, created 6 different full length productions, ran 20 digital programs, 4 different community outreach programs with 12 events for adults and children. We employed 43 artists and technicians and made 90% of our programming free to over 18,000 audience members. We gathered communities from local to global through the power of art, connecting, uniting, teaching and inspiring.
WE CANNOT DO IT ALONE!
Patrons like you help us in our mission to further an art form which builds and inspires unity and freedom of expression. Thank you for making an investment into the artistic voices of today who will enrich the collective cultural heritage of New York City and beyond!

Leonardo Suarez Paz & Astor Piazzolla

Artistic Director and “virtuoso extraordinaire,” Leonardo Suarez Paz, creates across cultures and genres, continuing a family legacy of over 100 years in the genre, beginning with Gabino Ezeiza to Fernando Suarez Paz who was instrumental in creating the Nuevo Tango alongside Piazzolla. A member of the Orquesta Estable del Teatro Colon, Leonardo's work as a soloist includes the most distinguished tango orchestras such as those of Mariano Mores, Horacio Salgan, Atilio Stampone, Osvaldo Berlingieri and the shows Tangox2 and Perfumes de Tango where he was also featured as a dancer. He was the soloist in both Broadway tango shows Forever Tango and Tango Argentino, with Placido Domingo, Ruben Blades, Carlos Franzetti, Patience Higgins, Jim Hall, Kenny Drew Jr., Steve Kuhn, Savion Glover and many others. Following in the footsteps of his mentors Astor Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer, Leonardo “shows us how easily we can communicate across cultures if the desire and effort are there.” (Wynton Marsalis, Artistic Director Jazz at Lincoln Center)

Leonardo Suarez Paz is surely now the torchbearer of Argentine Tango and the legacy of its greatest composer, Astor Piazzolla. |
The harmonically sophisticated arrangements by Leonardo Suárez Paz are superb, as is his sardonic Milonga de los monsters – an unlikely yet happy marriage of Prokofiev and tango nuevo.” |
Leonardo Suarez Paz is Tango Royalty... powerful and sensual. |
His knowledge of the tango violin playing conveys a century of individual styles. |
