The Latin American Collection at Malmesbury Abbey

Trio Paradis play a Café Concert at Malmesbury Abbey on the first Tuesday afternoon of each month at 2pm: informal feel-good music events with refreshments available in the Abbey Café before and after the concert, where you can meet friends and make new ones over tea/coffee and cakes, and enjoy live music. 

February’s concert is a collection of music by South American composers to bring some sun to dark winter days… including dances (Tango, Rumba and more), alongside classical and reflective pieces. Composers include Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, the king of Argentinian Tango, Astor Piazzolla, fellow Argentinian Magdalena Garcia Robson, Cuban brother and sister composers Ernestina and Ernesto Lecuona, Mexican Manuel Ponce and Carlos Guastavino, ‘the Schubert of the Pampas’.

Concerts last c45m and entrance - or rather, exit! - is by pay-what-you-feel donation, with a retiring collection.
