The Teatro Colón Foundation, a non-profit organization that contributes with the development of artistic and cultural events to support the Teatro Colón since 1978, organizes the series of concerts “Domingos con la Camerata” (Sundays with the Camerata), at Hotel Panamericano Buenos Aires.
The Camerata Bariloche is the first Argentine chamber music group in achieving an international renown. Its first director was Alberto Lysy, followed by Rubén González, Elías Khayat, and, from 1993, maestro Fernando Hasaj.
The closing concert, dedicated to Astor Piazzolla, will feature the young and talented Russian pianist Anna Fedorova, playing “Estaciones Porteñas”.

Kids listen and participate of the show, with movements, clapping of their hands to the rhythm of music, or going on stage as "guest conductors".
