About The Concert
Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla's signature South American flair is showcased in his concerto for a unique and unusual orchestral instrument— the accordion. As a winner of the world's most prestigious accordion competitions, Radu Ratoi performs this work, plus an impressive arrangement of Bizet's famous Carmen Fantasie.
This concert will include an intermission.
