Today, the 49th edition of the Stresa Festival will close, with the performance of the Stresa Festival Orchestra, conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, who is the artistic director of the Stresa Festival. They will perform Dvorak's Symphony "New Worlds" and Shostakovich's Violin concert no.1, with Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos, at the Palazzo dei Congressi, this evening.
