Estrella said "I am very happy to be here in Palestine and presenting this concert, music is a great trick that gathers people from different backgrounds on common ground, I am learning a lot by being here on this land in this unique land that smells history, heritage and diversity but also tragedy and reality, we have to keep faith and hope through creativity and the promotion of peace and spirit. Therefore, I have established the Peace Ochestra in Argentina to help and support the Palestinian people who are living in such hard conditions that are worse than the conditions we are living in Argentine. We have to build peace bridges between the different musicians who have different cultures and live together in harmony." Maestro Estrella performed some of the sonatas of Jean Sebastian Bach and Chopin.
