George Enescu Festival
Romania's most famous composer, George Enescu, is celebrated in Bucharest every two years with an international festival and competition in his honour. Attracting major ensembles and artists, the festival includes at least one work by Enescu in its main concerts.
The 19th festival in 2009 stands by tradition in opening with the six-day Enescu competition (30 August-4 September, with the finals taking place on the 4 September) concentrating on areas of Enescu's special interests - violin, piano and string quartet in performance and, in composition, works for orchestra or chamber ensemble. The standard of the competition is usually very high indeed.
Throughout the whole period there are events in City Square (Piata Revolutiei) including concerts by students from the neighbouring music academies, recitals and movie screenings. The full concert programme includes concerts throughout the festival at both the Palace Grand Hall, Bucharest National Opera House, Palace Small Hall and the Ateneul Român.
