Viva la Vida

Attention - Changed Event Start Time!<br><br>City festival and Dresden Philharmonic have been linked for many years! With fiery tango rhythms and George Gershwin's unmistakable mix of jazz and Broadway, "Viva la vida" musically travels from South to North America. In the year of the accordion, the remarkable sound diversity of the accordion is also in the spotlight. And in honour of his 240th birthday, Carl Maria von Weber will also be celebrated...
