Christ and Dominique showcase their musical prowess in a special tribute concert to the legendary Astor Piazzolla. The performance artfully weaves together compositions from influential figures in Piazzolla’s youth, including Gardel, Bach, Ellington, Ginastera, Fauré and Bartok. As a crowning moment, Dominique’s original composition titled “Hommage à Piazzolla,” is a captivating piece that serves as the grand finale, touching their audiences with its emotive resonance and exciting solos for both instruments.
