Marcelo Nisinman brings the Argentine colour to this O/Modernt programme. Born in Buenos Aires in 1970, he studied bandoneon and composition in his hometown, then studying with Detlev Müller-Siemens in Basel, where he still lives today. As a bandoneonist, he has performed with artists such as Martha Argerich, Gidon Kremer, Gary Burton and Fernando Suarez Paz, but also with the WDR Big Band and the Philadelphia Orchestra. He has composed numerous works for bandoneon and orchestra in which he mixes traditional tango with elements of contemporary composition, for example in Dark Blue Tango and the two compositions Hombre Tango and 4 am Tango. In addition, he has combined the bandoneon with a string quartet and in a trio with electric guitar and double bass. The broad spectrum of Nisinman’s output is reflected in his discography, which features duos for bandoneon and double bass (Al Principio), solo pieces (Cumparsitos), stage music (Desvios Tango Theater Music) and his arrangement of Piazzolla’s María de Buenos Aires.
