Famous Moldovan composer to give concert dedicated to departed Romanian poet in Vienna. Moldpres. 12.06.2018

Chisinau, 11 June /MOLDPRES/ - Composer Eugen Doga will give an author concert dedicated to Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu, occasioned by the anniversary of his death, in the concert hall of the Schönbrunn Palace from Vienna, Austria, on 15 June, in the year of the Centenary of the Great Union with Romania.    

Master Eugen Doga will present his works, written on verses by poets Mihai Eminescu, Veronica Micle and Grigore Vieru, along with the National Symphony Orchestra of the Teleradio-Moldova Public Company, conducted by Dumitru Carciumaru. The soloists of the concert are soprano Mariana Bulicanu, soprano Ana Maria Donose from Iasi, Romania, tenor Ion Timofti and Vitalie Advahov playing the accordion, who will perform for the first time in the city called “capital of music.”      

Contacted by MOLDPRES, composer Eugen Doga said that this concert was significant also through the fact that Mihai Eminescu had studied in Vienna and was acquainted with Veronica Micle there.  

”We are a joint team. Soprano Ana Maria Donose is from Iasi, where Eminescu started his work and his great love, which inspired him in his works, appeared in Vienna. I hope that this concert will be a success and we will have more representatives of our Diaspora in the hall,” master Eugen Doga also said.   

The concert is organized by the Vienna-based Mihai Eminescu Association, in partnership with the Romanian Cultural Institute, Ministry for Romanians Abroad, Romanian Embassy in Austria, Moldova’s Embassy in Austria and the Vienna city hall.
