The warm climate of Italian and Spanish-speaking countries is the inspiration behind LATINO LOVE AFFAIR. Think hot sunny days, languid evenings and sudden thunderstorms.

In a mixed program from the past and present Thoroughbass bring the pizzazz and energy of Pablo Escande’s Capricho, a musical episode in the life of Don Quixote in May Howlett’s Tilting at Windmills and take you to sultry danger-filled nights in Buenos Aires with Piazzolla’s Fuga y misterio.In addition, an untypical concerto by Alessandro Scarlatti and two concertos by Bach and Benda who, judging by the Italian style they have adopted so whole-heartedly, wished they had lived there.
