The Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra has been invited by the George Enescu Festival in Bucharest for the first time in its history, MTVA (Media Services and Support Trust Fund) announced is a statement, according to which the 25th George Enescu Festival traditionally focuses on the oeuvre of its namesake, Romanian composer George Enescu, who was born 140 years ago. Most of his orchestral and chamber music works will be performed at this year’s event, which means 37 of his works will be performed.
