AIMEZ-VOUS... SPAIN?

The #8 Țintea Muzicală Festival devotes its attention to Spain, that is the country's musical and cultural abundance, a place rich in colours, yet at the same time, nuanced and very diverse. The instruments presented this year are grouped around the duo harpsichord & accordion; a singular combination of new and old with resources already tested in Baroque music (when it comes to the harpsichord), and which awaits to be put into a contemporary context. ...continuing This year, the festival is inviting you to take part in a journey that brings together works written for voice, piano, guitar, violin, violoncello, harpsichord and accordion. Various musical pieces from different periods will be showcasing different sound colours, all united in a lively and spontaneous performance. back

The #8 Țintea Muzicală is happy to welcome well-known musicians from Finland, Romania and Austria, such as the duo Ovocutters - harpsichord player Sonja Leipold and accordion player Christoph Hofer, soprano Cristina Radu, guitarist Costin Soare, soprano Ariadna Mihai, mezzo-soprano Carolina Astanei, pianist Otto Probst, cellist Maria Magdalena Probst, violinist Diana Antonescu, director Dorothea Neagu. ...continuing ... back

As every year, composers from different countries are invited to write new works for our festival, this time inspired by the Spanish culture. ...continuing First performances for harpsichord and accordion will take place as part of the festival programme. The composers are Adina Dumitrescu, Sebastian Dumitrescu, Wolfgang Liebhart, Laura Manolache, Dana Cristina Probst, Ming Wang. In addition, the duo Ovocutters will perform also other contemporary works by Bruno Strobl, Manuela Kerer, Simon Vosecek.
