Expressions of the Accordion

The accordionist Anton Stachev invites audiences to a concert with music for accordion and strings, with music by Piazzolla and others.

The concept of this concert is to perform compositions from different eras, where the accordion will play the lead role in combination with various ensembles of strings. In the first part, you will hear music by Bach, Scarlatti, Gubaidulina and Albéniz, and in the second, music by Piazzolla – all performed in the original arrangements and transcriptions.
