Let’s Vibe - Symphony Concert for Young People at Radio Hall
Friday, 26 February 2010 , 19.00

Radio Orchestras and Choirs have scheduled an innovative concert for Friday, February 26th 2010 starting with 19.00. Under the name Let’s Vibe - Symphony Concert for Young People, the National Radio Orchestra conducted by Jin Wang will be performing works particularly addressed to the young audience alongside young soloists such as Alexandru Tomescu (violin), Alexandru Anastasiu (vibes), Lucian Maxim (drums), Adrian Naidin (cello). The performance includes works and arrangements by Jin Wang, Alexandru Anastasiu, Lucian Maxim, Adrian Naidin, Cristian Lolea, Benjamin Britten, Ciprian Porumbescu.

The concert will start with Young person’s guide to the orchestra, a symphonic work composed by Benjamin Britten in 1946 in which the audience becomes familiar with the global sound of the orchestra as well as with each instrument alone. The effect of NOKIA Variations – Young person’s guide to the music styles composed by the conductor himself and performed in first audition in 2008 is similar. The soloists are soprano Daniela Caraman and tenor Nicolae Simonov.

The second part of the concert will feature Symphonic Dances for Young Romanian Friends by Jin Wang in which the author mainly used a series of themes suggested by young artists Alexandru Anastasiu, Lucian Maxim and Adrian Naidin who will also be performing as soloists. The next work, Ciprian Porumbescu’s Ballad for Violin and Orchestra, will be interpreted in a new orchestral version signed by composer Cristian Lolea and performed by violinist Alexandru Tomescu. The last work resorts to a different genre which has gained a huge popularity in the last decades – the soundtrack rewritten as a concert. On the occasion of this performance, Cristian Lolea, who wrote the film score for the Romanian movie Ingerul necesar (An Angel Hooked on Me) (2007), rearranged the work of the same name for violin and orchestra. It was an invitation made by violinist Alexandru Tomescu who will also be interpreting it.

Conductor Jin Wang is an artist who has held more than 600 concerts at the desk of renowned European orchestras such as the Radio Symphonic Orchestras in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Berlin, the Liverpool Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Toscanini Philharmonic Orchestra (Italy), the Prague Symphonic Orchestra (FOK), the Helsinki, Bergen and Stockholm Philharmonics as well as the national orchestras in Taiwan, China, Singapore, Korea, Japan etc. In 2009 Jin Wang held numerous concerts in China alongside the Shangai and Guangzou Philharmonic Orchestras as well as with the Singapore Symphonic Orchestra and took part in a European tour (France, Germany, Luxemburg) together with the Taipei Symphonic Orchestra. The concerts or opera performances conducted by Jin Wang have always brought enthusiastic remarks from the unusually big audience, from musicians he collaborated with and trade journals. Another aspect of his activity is that of a composer – the Tibet Impressions Suites (two of them were presented to our audience as well) or the recent Nokia Variations, Würzburg Night-watchman, New Year Hymn, Song from the Roof of the World which have won the hearts of the European audience to say the least.
