Enescu's universe Presented by Liszt Academy

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the death of composer George Enescu, the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music and the Romanian Cultural Institute in Budapest will organise a concert in the Chamber Hall of the Old Music Academy featuring violinist Diana Jipa and pianist Stefan Doniga.

Diana Jipa made her debut with the Brasov Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of ten, and has since become a regular performer not only in the concert halls of her native Romania, but in many other countries as well (England, Belgium, Czech Republic, South Korea, Cuba, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, South Korea). Diana Jipa is a frequent performer at music festivals, participating, among others, at the 18th George Enescu International Festival and at the 7th Paganiniana Festival in Genoa with the Jászvári Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2014, she gave a concert to demonstrate the possibilities of the hyperviolin (iperviolino, hyperviolin) in a research project focusing on the interplay between music and high technology.

Stefan Doniga is one of the most active and respected Romanian musicians of our time, a multiple award-winning theatre composer, technical director of opera productions, scriptwriter of theatre and ballet productions (two of his solo works were presented by the Bucharest Opera Theatre in the 2012-13 and 2015-16 seasons), publisher and translator of thematic textbooks, participant in conferences and public lecturer. With the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra of Ostrava and conductor David Porcelijn, he was the first to record Sergei Bortkiewicz's Second and Third Piano Concertos, published by the Netherlands Music Institute.
