Pedro Giraudo live in New York

Experience Pedro Giraudo live on August 11th

Pedro Giraudo, an Argentine composer and double bassist, will perform at Moynihan Hall at Penn Station in New York City on August 11, 2026. Giraudo’s musical style blends elements of tango, jazz, and classical music, often featuring his distinctive arrangements for string ensembles and incorporating improvisation. He is known for reinterpreting traditional tango forms while exploring contemporary harmonic and rhythmic ideas. His work frequently showcases the versatility of the double bass beyond its traditional role.

Moynihan Hall, located within the James A. Farley Post Office Building – now primarily occupied by Amtrak – represents a significant architectural landmark. Originally opened in 1914, the building served as New York City’s main post office for decades, renowned for its Beaux-Arts design and vast interior spaces. Following extensive renovations completed in 2023, the building was repurposed as a multi-use space including the Moynihan Train Hall which serves as Amtrak’s primary station. The hall itself is designed to evoke the grandeur of the original post office while functioning as a modern transportation hub and event venue; its high ceilings and ornate details provide a unique acoustic environment.
