The fourth day of George Enescu International Festival
Tuesday is the fourth day of the International Festival George Enescu. The Palace Hall in Bucharest is hosting the Symphonic Orchestra of Berlin Broadcasting Company, conducted by Vladimir Jurovski – the festival’s artistic director, an artist who sees the music and the mission of this festival in an unique way.
Vladimir Jurovski: Enescu’s world was different from ours and I am not sure that he would like the world as it is today. But I am certain that he would have loved the schedule of our festival, if he was to get in the concert halls of this 25th edition of the festival that has his name.
The Romanian Language Day
Romania is celebrating its official language today – the Day of the Romanian Language – which is also marked in the neighboring country, Republic of Moldova. The celebration was established in 2013 in Romania and was first adopted in Chisinau, during the national renaissance movement at the end of 1980s. The first rights that the Besserabian people have asked then were related to the Romanian language and the Latin alphabet. Consequently, the Supreme Soviet at the tome has adopted the law that declared the Romanian language as an official language and the return to the Latin alphabet.
