Imagine Baroque – Quasi una fantasia International Tour by Sînziana Mircea begins in Timișoara

TIMISOARA, Romania - May 25, 2023 - PRLog -- The concert is organized by the Banat Philharmonic as part of the International Festival 'Timișoara Muzicală' and will be hosted by the New Millennium Reformed Center, home to one of Romania's newest and most advanced organs. The festival is part of the cultural events program of 'Timișoara – Capitală Culturală 2023'. This year, the 47th edition of the festival features prominent names such as conductor Cristian Măcelaru, the National Orchestra of France, and pianist David Fray.

The International Tour 'Imagine Baroque – Quasi una Fantasia' represents a continuation of the project launched by the pianist in 2022. Piano and organ recitals are very rarely presented, even at a global level, due to the lack of literature for such a duo. The repertoire includes the presentation of unknown works by the Italian composer Benedetto Marcello, discovered by Sînziana Mircea at the Library of the Conservatory in Venice, as a result of the pianist's doctoral research as a PhD student at the West University of Timișoara, as well as her study period in Venice, within the 'Nicolae Iorga' Research Scholarship for a duration of 14 months.

The International Tour includes a series of concerts held in Romania and Italy, including Sardinia (Sassari Cathedral - Conservatorio "Luigi Canepa" di Sassari, May 30), Sfântu Gheorghe (Arcuș Cultural Center, July 4), Bucharest (Romanian Athenaeum – 'Vara Magică' Festival, July 12), Como (Caglio, August 3), Milan (Rotonda del Pellegrini, October 2), and others. The concert in Sardinia is part of the "Festival del Mediterraneo", XXIII International Organ Concert Series organized by the "Arte in Musica di Alghero" Cultural Association.

"In the "Timișoara Muzicală" International Festival agenda we also find a series of valuable artists from Romania and abroad: French pianist David Fray, violinist Sarah Nemțanu, French flutist Matthieu Gauci-Ancelin, soprano Dragana Radakovic, but also the conductor Gabriel Bebeșelea. We are very happy that pianist Sînziana Mircea accepted our invitation to participate in this edition of the festival", as declared by Ovidiu-Florian Andriș, Manager at Banatul Philharmonic, the organizer of the festival.

The guest of Sînziana Mircea in this tour is Italian organist Davide Mariano, one of the most talented and active young organists internationally, with performances on stages such as Musikverein and Konzerthaus Vienna, and Notre Dame in Paris. More info: https://www.sinziana-mircea.com/
