Avalos-Solera Duo: Bach en Bandoneón

Rodrigo Avalos, bandoneon
Heyni Solera, bandoneon
PROGRAM
A performance of selected works from J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, books I & II, and original compositions by the Avalos-Solera Duo in homage to Bach.
The Avalos Solera duo is an ensemble that is always looking for new sounds and musical propositions. The duo emerged virtually over the pandemic, where they began to develop and conceive of their first album, Bach en Bandoneón. This concept became a reality in December 2021, when it was recorded over a weekend in the Iglesia de la Congregación Evangélica Alemana de Buenos Aires in Argentina.
They've completed two tours in North America, where they presented the album to a diverse audience. In February 2023, they completed their second tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina, playing in important venues such as the Auditorium of the National University of the Arts. They have just recently recorded their next album of personal arrangements of classic tangos and Argentine folk music with voice. The album is due to be released in the summer of 2024.
Live from St. Paul’s Chapel, Columbia University.
