In 2017, the ARTE Foundation won the competition for organizing the concert Gala “Ndërmendje” in Shkodër. 

This activity, in our view, has presented some particularities, which were the cornerstones of our project proposal in terms of increasing the professional standard and ensuring partnership with important institutions in the country in order to increase visibility, as well as the promotion of Shkodra artists who develop their activities them outside the territory of the Republic of Albania. 

Thus within this the RTSH symphony orchestra was engaged in the project, which was conducted by Mr. Noorman Widjaja (an important name in Germany in terms of conducting). 

At the same time, in order to promote the artists of the city of Shkodra, the ARTE Foundation preferred to present artists from Shkodra with international fame, such as the young violinist Elvin Hoxha and the well-known baritone with an international career Mr. Frano Lufi.
