ORQUESTA FILIBERTO ESTRENA GRACIELA Y BUENOS AIRES, DE JOSÈ BRAGATO,

Finalmente, la Orquesta Nacional de Mùsica Argentina Juan de Dios Filiberto (nuevo nombre para una de las tradicionales Orquestas de Tango de la ciudad de Buenos Aires) estrenó en su repertorio la obra Graciela y Buenos Aires con la intervención de su violoncello solista, el joven maestro Pablo Bercellini, quien tiene vastos estudios en Dresden y Berlín, regresando al país hace 10 años. El violoncellista ocupa el lugar solista que habìa dejado vacante, con ese tenor de virtuosismo, el maestro Josè Bragato en 1996, a los 81 años, cuando decidió retirarse del exigente mundo de ensayos y conciertos de las orquestas y dedicarse por entero a la composición.Auguramos al maestro Bercellini un gran futuro en su país que tanto necesita de eximios instrumentistas como èl y como lo fue el maestro Josè Bragato.

The Vanguard of the Tango occured around 1954 with Astor Piazzolla and the OCTETO BUENOS AIRES. This was the sound that changed tango forever!

Jose became a solid composer of tangos and arranger for camera music, as a violoncellist soloist.

In 1976, he left Argentina and went to the Orchestra of Porto Alegre,

Brazil. After three years, he went to the Universidad of Natal, in North Brazil, and was a teacher of

camera music and conductor of several ensembles of camera music. He also founded
