Peter Soave & the Bellinzona Accordion Orchestra

The accordion has a long and solid tradition in Bellinzona. The Bellinzona Accordion Orchestra has been promoting its culture for 60 years, and under the direction of Maestro Paolo Vignani, it has significantly renewed its repertoire. To celebrate its jubilee, the Orchestra is presenting two outstanding guests to the audience at the Teatro Sociale Bellinzona.
