The Berlin trio Luz y Sombra gives Tango Nuevo a new face with their joy of playing, creativity and virtuosity.
Since its foundation 20 years ago, the ensemble has dedicated itself to the compositions of Astor Piazzolla and presents them in previously unheard arrangements for violin, clarinet/bass clarinet and piano. The three classically trained musicians reinvent both their own playing and Piazzolla's music time and again, bringing it to the stage with ease and brilliance.
Since 2017, the ensemble has also performed as a quartet with singers Diego Valentín Flores and Nicolás Lartaun in concerts that focus on Piazzolla's vocal music.
Numerous concert tours have taken Luz y Sombra throughout Germany, Europe and beyond. Her stages have included Het Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the French Cathedral in Berlin and the Felicja Blumental Music Center Tel Aviv. In spring 2021, Luz y Sombra was one of the finalists in the International Piazzolla Music Competition.
In collaboration with Skycap Records and Galileo Records, the trio has released three albums to date: "Luz y Sombra" (2012), "Milonga Loca" (2016) and "Chiquilín" (2021). The third album, on which the trio invited singer Nicolás Lartaun as a guest artist, was nominated for the German Record Critics' Award 3/2021.
