ENESCU AT BĂLȚI: HISTORY AND CONTEMPORANEITY
ENESCU AT BĂLȚI: HISTORY AND CONTEMPORANEITY

Summary/Abstract: In the many musicological researches on the encyclopedic creation of the genius Enescu, a very important aspect – the mass distribution of the great violin art – is less reflected. The present investigation fills in this gap by describing the concertistic and charity activity that George Enescu carried out in Bălţi in the interwar period. In Bălţi, this phenomenon is valorized and George Enescu’s name is immortalized by being conferred to the Children’s Music School only after about 80 years, in 1994. From this moment on, a whole array of cultural and artistic and educational activities begins to unfold, the apex of which consists of three editions of the “George Enescu” Festival-Contest where students – musicians from the pre-university artistic education schools – as well as notorious personalities in the interpretative and pedagogical-artistic field from Moldova and Romania compete.
