Marcelo Nisinman – Bandoneon
Born in 
Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1970, Marcelo Nisinman is a composer and master performer of the bandoneon. He currently lives in Basel, Switzerland, and is an active member of the international music/tango scene.
He studied bandoneon with Julio Pane, counterpoint and harmony with Guillermo Graetzer (pupil of Paul Hindemith), both in Buenos Aires, and completed his composition studies with Detlev Müller-Siemens in Basel.
Marcelo Nisinman’s music presents a new, diverse and original style that has its origins in Buenos Aires. Not only on the bandoneon, but also through a variety of different genres, such as string quartets, chamber ensembles, symphonic bands, symphony orchestras and even a chamber tango opera (“Señor Retorcimientos”), this rich and complex new “Tango” generates a wide range of emotions: from the meditative and introspective to the exciting and ecstatic.
Marcelo Nisinman 
has performed with Gidon Kremer, Gary Burton, Fernando Suarez Paz, the Assad Brothers, the WDR Big Band under Vince Mendoza, the Belgrad Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Charles Dutoit, among others.
He was Composer in Residence at the Oxford Chamber Music Festival in 2008 and has been invited as composer and performer to the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival in Finland (2009) and the Sonoro Festival in Bucharest (2007 and 2008).
Nisinman’s CD “Tango” was recorded with the contemporary Danish group “Tango Orkestret”. He also wrote and recorded the music for the CD “Nacar” with the Mayo Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Pedro I. Calderón.
