The Americas: In Concert - 11/21/09

Med Health Services and Pittsburgh Cardiovascular Institute along with the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Latin American Studies produced the second annual “The Americas — In Concert” showcase. The free concert, which was open to the public, featured one of the most famous Tango pianists of today, Octavio Brunetti and his band The Octavio Brunetti Quintet. The group entertained audiences with a masterful performance of tangos by Argentine composers. This is the second year for the event, which the sponsors would like to make a Pittsburgh tradition to open the minds and ears of the public to music from North and South America.Photography by Megan Wylie
