KICK-OFF CONCERT – Admission free!

The solo concert by the Moldovan accordion virtuoso on Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 5 p.m. in the Auenkirche Berlin-Wilmersdorf is not just an introduction and a tingling foretaste of this year’s »FRIEDENSTRAUM« festival. It also offers the audience a close-up view of the exceptional artist Radu Ratoi, who shows his own versatility with his program from baroque to avant-garde and at the same time celebrates the expressive diversity of his instrument. There is hardly a second time you will experience Ratoi as up close and unique as at this concert.
