I am very happy that the "Remember Enescu" International Competition project continues with this series of concerts at an international level, a project developed by the "Remember Enescu" Cultural Foundation, because it is a very good opportunity to promote both the music of the great Romanian musician, George Enescu, as well as the values of the national heritage and, last but not least, the image of Timisoara as an important European cultural pole, declares Alexandru Tomescu, violinist.
The "Remember Enescu" concerts represent the second part of the "Remember Enescu" International Competition project, held in Timișoara between September 25-30, 2023 and they come to encourage education through music, but also to promote the musical creations of the great composer George Enescu in a European context. At the same time, the aim of this endeavor is to actively contribute to the creation of a universal positive perception of Romanian culture and heritage, of values, especially in the context of the Timișoara – European Capital of Culture program in 2023.
The rector of UVT, university professor Dr. Marilen Pirtea: "The contribution of the Western University of Timișoara to the special events dedicated to the European cultural year 2023, held locally, in Timișoara, but also at the European level, confirms the role of the academic community in supporting and promoting values and culture."
"Music is a universal language that allows the creation of unique connections between different cultures. Siamo felici che oggi questo ponte si sia creato con la culture romana e speriamo sia l'inizio di una bella bella collaborazione." – Music is a universal language that allows the creation of unique connections between different cultures. We are happy that this bridge was created today through Romanian culture and we hope it will be the beginning of a beautiful collaboration - declares Piergiacomo Mion, Director of the FAI Milan delegation.
