Fundaţia George Enescu

Fundaţia George Enescu is rated 3 out of 5 in the category civic & social organization. Read and write reviews about Fundaţia George Enescu. The purpose of the foundation is to support, promote and integrate Romanian Culture into the international artistic circuit, by creating and performing artistic events with the participation of the most proeminent personalities of the world music stages. In our view, the present musical context has to develop through the existence within the concert season of as many resounding names in the conducting, performing and composing Romanian and international art as possible, so that George Enescu Philharmonic would become again 'a symbol of spiritual tradition' in the world, not just in Romania. It was established in September 2010 and its aim is to continue an excellency tradition in the musical approach, and at the same time to rediscover and to perpetuate the remarkable artistic atmosphere which once comprised names such as: George Enescu, Dinu Lipatti, Cella Delavrancea, Clara Haskil, George Georgescu, Dimitrie Dinicu, Eduard Wachmann, Ionel Perlea, Ion Voicu, Constantin Silvestri, Valentin Gheorghiu, Sergiu Celibidache, Sergiu Comissiona, Maurice Ravel, Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinski, Yehudi Menuhin, Zubin Mehta, Herbert von Karajan, Pietro Mascagni, Vincent d'Indy, Bela Bartok, Serghei Prokofiev, Arthur Rubinstein, Jacques Thibaud, Pablo Casals, David Oistrah, Lawrence Foster, these being just a few of the personalities who honoured us with their presence on the Romanian Athenaeum stage over time. The old splendour of the Athenaeum was given by historical moments and events, by the first auditions of some works of art in the native musical literature, by the people who administrated and managed the destiny of the Philharmonic.
