RIZZOLI MUSIC APERITIVO
Sunday, June 30th, 2019 - 4:30 pm
1133 Broadway (25th - 26th Streets), New York City
After paying tribute to musicians and composers of the Belle Époque, including Sydney Bchet and Duke Ellington, to name just two of them, Vincent Peirani (accordian/vocals) and Émile Parisien (soprano saxophone) set out to discover Argentine tango.
Between performances of traditional pieces (Carlos Gardel, Astor Piazzolla) and the creation of new ones (Gubitsch, Peirani, Parisien), these two exceptional musicians – they know each other so well from their long collaboration that they seem to blend into one – present their own renderings of themes such as Temptation by Xavier Cugat, and they even go so far as to play a melody by Jelly Roll Morton.
With this new repertoire they give us their interpretation of tango music – a personal interpretation, anchored in the deepest traditions of this popular genre, and taking both tango and us to regions hitherto unexplored.

Join us for a talk and book signing with Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto to celebrate the publication of Projects and Their Consequences.
Projects and Their Consequences traces thirty years of innovative, multidisciplinary investigations of form, structure, technique, and planning. Projects include large-scale studies of infrastructure for the East River Corridor and Hudson Yards areas in Manhattan and the Alishan Railway in Taiwan, as well as schemes for cultural institutions including the New Museum, Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, and University of Applied Arts Vienna. Also included are thought-provoking "textual projects": narrative works that blur the boundaries of art and architecture. This book balances incisive interviews and essays with more than 400 strikingly original drawings, collages, and paintings. Large-format and beautifully designed, it is a necessary volume for architects and those interested in the intersection of architecture, art, and culture.
