We say expect the unexpected and we mean it! Sign up for the surreal-dreamlike story of the tango in Piazzolla's Maria de Buenos Aires; a double bill of the bizarre with Poulenc's The Breasts of Tiresias and Martinu's Tears of a Knife; the absurd justifications for political killings through Osvaldo Golijov's Ainadamar; and the curious case of a man who sees but does not see, in Michael Nyman's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.
