New York Guitar Seminar: Piazzolla at 100, Binelli at 75

Every summer since 2009, Music of the Americas has partnered with the New York Guitar Seminar at Mannes to present the opening faculty recital of the New York Guitar Seminar (NYGS). Open to guitarists and music lovers of all ages and levels of skill, the NYGS offers a week of intensive technical and musical training in New York City.

Previous concerts have featured Berta Rojas, the Oltman Newman Duo, and Fábio Zanon, among many others.

In 2021, we celebrate Astor Piazzolla’s centennial and the 75th birthday of his protégé Daniel Binelli. Piazzolla remains one of the best-known composers in the world, and his music transformed tango and extends to the chamber music world, where the guitar plays an important role. Internationally renowned composer, arranger and master of the bandoneon Daniel Binelli performs extensively in concert and recital. He is the foremost torchbearer of the music of Astor Piazzolla. The repertoire for this concert will include Binelli’s Metropolis and works by Piazzolla.
