Cultural highlight

We went to a fascinating concert this week featuring a cellist and an accordian/bandoneon player. The music, all self-composed, was a mixture of jazz, world music, with hints of Argentinian tango, Italian piazza and Irish folk music. For those not in the know (including us before the concert) a bandoneon is an instrument similar to the accordian, in that it is played in the same way, but was often used in small churches in Germany in place of a pipe organ. You can see it sitting on a chair in the slightly blurry photo (it was difficult to get a good shot from the balcony).
