Classic meets tango: concert in the Schmargendorf town hall inspires!

On Sunday, September 21, 2025, a musical highlight will take place in Berlin. In the Ursula Mamlok Hall of the Schmargendorf town hall, located at Berkaer Platz 114, lecturers from the City West music school will present an impressive concert. It starts at 6 p.m. and the program promises an exciting journey through various musical styles from romantic to modern.

The concert will include works by renowned composers such as Bohuslav Martinů, Giovanni “Nino” Rota, Astor Piazzolla and Johannes Brahms. The performances showcase the artists' technical brilliance and passion for chamber music, and two trio pieces and two duo pieces are planned. The performing musicians, including Petra Hildner on the transverse flute, Luminita Toader on the violin and Niek van Oosterum on the piano, will delight the audience with a diverse and expressive interpretation of the pieces.

The importance of the composers

The program reflects the diversity of music history, with Piazzolla's works shining with tango influences. This style is particularly in demand and has experienced a renaissance in recent years. Astor Piazzolla, whose 100th birthday was celebrated in 2021, is known for his innovative combination of classical and Argentine tango. The Astor Trio, known from the chamber concerts at the art association KSG Exaudio, is further evidence of how its music continues to be present in contemporary performances. The Cologne Classical Ensemble also delivers a wide range of works, ranging from Grieg to Saint-Saëns.

The availability of live recordings and albums highlighting Piazzolla and other masters such as Nino Rota shows how vital and relevant this music remains today. Particularly noteworthy are the digital albums that appear on platforms such as Spotify and iTunes and appeal to a wide audience.
