Hidden Treasures - Gala Concert under the auspices of the Romanian Cultural Institute

Under the auspices of the Romanian Cultural Institute.

 

Experience the beauty of musical rarities by celebrated Romanian masters, brought to the Israeli audience in a new and vibrant light. The fresh orchestrations of forgotten art songs and other chamber music gems have been meticulously crafted by the innovative conductor and baritone, Ionuț Pascu.
.

The core of the musical program is a convergence of 2024 anniversaries: celebrating 150 years since the birth of Alfonso Castaldi, the founder of the Romanian composition school, as well as 135 and 132 years since the births of his disciples, Mansi Barberis and Diamandi Gheciu. Additionally, we commemorate 100 years since the birth of Mariana Dumitrescu, the beloved poet of Romanian composers for their art songs. The celebratory evening will feature prominent Romanian voices from the opera world, including the 2024 Young Artist of the Year (International Classical Music Awards), soprano Aida Pascu, soprano Madeleine Pascu and tenor Andrei Manea.
