Violinist Alexandru Tomescu and Pianist Sînziana Mircea Celebrate Enescu

The Romanian Cultural Institute and the Romanian Embassy in London are delighted to present virtuoso violinist Alexandru Tomescu and acclaimed pianist Sînziana Mircea in an extraordinary concert, which continues our Enescu Concerts Series. The event is being supported by the West University of Timișoara, “Remember Enescu” Cultural Foundation and Art in Conversation. The concert is part of the international tour Remember Enescu, which celebrates Timișoara European Capital of Culture 2023.

After a spectacular October recital featuring George Enescu’s own violin Guarneri “the cathedral” masterfully played by Gabriel Croitoru, London music lovers are in for another masterful violinist, the impressive and charismatic Alexandru Tomescu, playing on the famed Stradivarius Elder-Voicu violin built in 1702 - Antonius Stradivarius Cremonesis Faciebat Anno 1702.
