Italian composer Antonella Barbarossa said she is proud to present her Concerto per bandoneon, timpani e orchestra in Yerevan.

The world premiere of her new work took place during the concert of accordion virtuoso Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi and the Youth State Orchestra of Armenia (YSOA) on March 10.

“I was fond of the Orchestra’s performance. So I promised them to organize a concert in Italy,” Barbarossa told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

The Yerevan concert was dedicated to the 90th birth anniversary of Astor Piazzolla.
