On March 10, Yerevan hosted the concert of virtuoso accordionist Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi and Armenia’s State Youth Orchestra, conducted by Sergey Smbatyan and Italian conductor Roberto Molinelli. The concert premiered compositions of Roberto Molinelli and Antonella Barbarossa.

Conductor Roberto Molinelli expressed great satisfaction over his work with the musicians of the Armenia’s State Youth Orchestra. “They’re wonderful and have great passion for their work. I create only half of the composition. The other half is the merit of the orchestra.”

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