Description:
Maxim Vengerov, both soloist and conductor of the “Virtuozii” from Bucharest, Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI La Capela Reial de Catalunya, pianist Matei Varga, violinists Liviu Prunaru (concertmaster of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam) and Antal Zalai (laureate of the Enescu Competition, 2011) - these are just a few of the artists that can be listened on the most important scenes in Romania (Arad, Bacău, Brașov, Cluj-Napoca, Craiova, Sibiu and Timișoara), in a series that has already established itself a tradition.
The diverse repertoire, the presence of Romanian composers (Tiberiu Olah, George Enescu, Ulpiu Vlad), the first Romanian auditions, promoting young interpreters are just a few characteristics of these events, that are able to transform the entire country in a space of creativity, a space of values.
