About this Event
Daniel Olszewski: El Tanguero - Classical Guitar ConcertThursday, October 97:00 p.m. | Theater in the Scott Center | Free
"El Tanguero" is a heartfelt tribute to the timeless art of Argentine Tango, featuring compositions by renowned masters such as Astor Piazzolla, Jose Luis Merlin, Carlos Guastavino, and a special tribute to Piazzolla by Maximo Diego Pujol. Within the program, the movements of Piazzolla's seminal work Four Seasons of Buenos Aires create structural touchstones as listeners are guided through the passionate rhythms, intricate harmonies, and profound emotional depth of Argentinian art music.
Daniel Olszewski brings a passion and emotional engagement into his performances which pull every listener into the present moment. His style is centered around an authentic relationship with the score combined with interpretive spontaneity, leaving a unique mark on each concert and setting him apart within the classical guitar world. His local reputation as a performer on the East Coast of the US renowns him for his “great energy and vibe” (Jose Magaña, concert presenter) as he delights audiences in intimate spaces. His inventive approach to programming combines historical classics with his own arrangements of modern music.
On top of performing, Daniel is a dedicated and full-time teacher. His special approach to teaching is supported like a triangle by 3 opposing corners. The first is a commitment to the high standards and rigor of musical integrity. The second, a body-mind awareness of the best means to achieve those goals, imbued by his study of the Alexander Technique. The third corner is his willingness to truly know and engage with his students on their musical journeys. These lively oppositions provide diverse tools to free students of pedagogical blinders and orient them on an upwards path towards mastery.
Daniel is a rising star within the classical guitar community, only just beginning to build his reputation. His course is set to continue growing his impact through passionate concerts and in meaningful engagements with students in workshops and master classes. His current program showcases his journey into the world of Argentinean music, a style which has recently caught his attention for deeper study. So rich in influence from dances like the tango, Daniel brings to life the movements between the masculine and feminine for audiences to take flight.
