Viva la Vida

City festival and Dresden Philharmonic, they have been together for many years! This time we open it with a programme that simply creates a good mood. This is ensured by tango rhythms as well as the typical Broadway sound of George Gershwin. The whole thing gets the right momentum from the accordion, which can do much more than one usually thinks...
