Proms: The Sound of Argentina

8.00 Proms: The Sound of Argentina

Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Sean Shibe has been breaking down musical boundaries
and winning awards since he erupted onto the classical music scene almost a decade ago. Now
the young guitarist makes his much-anticipated Proms debut, joining forces with flautist Adam
Walker for a concert celebrating the centenaries of two Argentine composers. Songs by Ariel Ramírez
follow Astor Piazzolla’s Histoire du tango – tracing the dance’s colourful history from its origins in the
bordellos of Buenos Aires via cafés and nightclubs to the contemporary concert hall.
