He was appointed Kapellmeister and composed several works there until 1762, when he was offered the opportunity to work in Salzburg.

The second part of the programme will include the work Magnificat in D major BWV 243 by Bach, performed by soprano Georgiana Vârjoghe, mezzo-soprano Kutasi Judit Isabela, tenor Nicolae Simonov and bass Filip Panait. They will be accompanied by the Radio Academy Chorus conducted by Dan Mihai Goia and organ player Marcel Costea.
