 ​    ​​"TANGO - AN ENTIRE CULTURE"​​  "EL TANGO - UNA CULTURA "  
- Horacio Ferrer

​​Leonardo Suarez Paz’s PIAZZOLLA 100 is a multidisciplinary performing arts organization that showcases a groundbreaking new style, which 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 as a contemporary art form across all disciplines through live performances, exhibits, recording,  film and education by demonstrating its evolution and relationship to Jazz, Contemporary Classical and popular genres and fostering the creation of new work and cross-cultural collaborations. 

We celebrate Latin, African and European cultural heritages, 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 across generations, cultures, genres and disciplines to create new work and express through ​a renewed artistic idiom of cultural unity and inclusion.

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)

PIAZZOLLA 100 CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Leonardo Suarez Paz is surely now the torchbearer of Argentine Tango and the legacy of its greatest composer, Astor Piazzolla.
- All About Jazz
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.”
- GRAMOPHONE, UK Andrew Farach-Colton
Leonardo Suarez Paz is Tango Royalty... ​powerful and sensual.
- All About Jazz
His knowledge of the tango violin playing conveys a century of individual styles.
