The Romanian Athenaeum hosted the concert in the series Chamber music concerts given by the Romanian Brass ensemble which is led and founded by oboe player Adrian Petrescu. They performed works by Sostakovici, Gershwin, Arban, Bach and Tomasi, soloist being Russian Trumpet player Serghei Nakariakov. Many years ago, oboe player Adrian petrescu gathered some valuable instrumentalists of the Symphony orchestra of the G. Enescu Philharmonics of Bucharest and the group impressed from the very start through professionalism and homogeneity.
Their repertoire is rich and diverse, including opuses from pre-classic, classic, Romantic and contemporary music but also sacred works or entertainment music. Serghei Nakariakov was born in Russia and he has settled for some time in Israel. Critics say that the artist plays on the trumpet just like others breathe and the Finnish critics called him The Paganini of the trumpet . In Bucharest he was given a standing ovation.
The Grand palace Hall hosted, in the series Great world orchestras , a concert given by Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse conducted by Tugan Sokhiev, soloist being Renaud Capucon. They performed works by Enescu, Saint Saens and Stravinski. French violinist Renaud Capucon played on a Guarneri Panette violin that belonged to Isaac Stern. In 2000 he was at the beginning of his career but now he has collaborated with high profile musicians and made prestigious recordings with focus on French music - a thing that could be noticed in his concert in Romania.
Music lovers came in large numbers to the Small palace Hall to listen to the concert given by Swingle Singers in the series Classical music in jazz arrangements . Founded in Paris in 1963 by Ward Swingle, the group including eight musicians, continue to amaze the audience after more than 40 years, by their vocal virtuosity, impeccable technique, homogeneity and extensive repertoire ranging from pre-classic, classic, modern and contemporary music and to pop-rock, gospel and jazz.
On Thursday, music lovers can listen to the recital given by pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja, in the opera Celan by Ruzicka, and the concert given by the symphony orchestra of Bayerischen Rundfunks conducted by Mariss Janson and last but not least to a concert given by Trio Novikov -Unt -Melvin at the Small palace Hall of Bucharest .
