Opening Concert 
PANTONALE FESTIVAL 2025 – ACCORDION SPRING

After his acclaimed guest performances in recent years, accordionist Radu Ratoi performed in Berlin churches and on the stage of the Chamber Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic again. The audience once again had the opportunity to get to know the new musical and technical possibilities of this instrument, which this unique artist opens up to his listeners. With his love for the instrument and the brilliant performance of a carefully selected program of his concerts, Radu Ratoi was writing new pages in the development of the accordion!
