Entrust and Inspire

In Entrust & Inspire, the meeting of Astor Piazzolla and Nadia Boulanger inspires a composition for violin and accordion by Van Amsterdam Duo, with a dancer bringing the narrative of reinvention and trust to life through symbolic accessories.

Entrust & Inspire is a story about reinvention, growth, and trust, centered around the meeting between student Astor Piazzolla and teacher Nadia Boulanger. The historical and geographical influences behind specific works by both Piazzolla and Boulanger are woven into the new composition, bringing their musical elements to life. This composition, written for a violin and accordion duo, is performed by Van Amsterdam Duo. The visuals of their performance will be integrated into the audiovisual production, while the narrative will be portrayed by a dancer using accessories to symbolize various times and places.
