At the limits of cello and accordion

Welcome to a musical journey where cello and accordion intertwine with extraordinary intensity! This concert brings to the stage works that move between deep emotions and strong contrasts – from delicate hymns to passionate tangos and from meditative contemplation to poignant lamentation. The works play with expectations and test the limits of instruments. This concert offers both intimate moments and dazzling energy.

The concert is free of charge, welcome!
