Hypermarkets, shopping malls, shopping centers, bookshops, museums, company headquarters: these are the unconventional places where the great music of all times will be heard every day in October, as part of the "Listen to 5 minutes of classical music" project, initiated by Radio România Muzical and ongoing since 2010.

Famous musical works become part of the soundscape proposed by the partners of this project, all being performed by prestigious Romanian and foreign interprets, including Antonio Vivaldi's "Autumn" Concerto, Maurice Ravel's "Bolero", "Wedding march" from the stage music "A Midsummer Night's Dream" byFelix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Constantin Dumitrescu's "Peasant Dance", as well as arias by Giacomo Puccini, as 100 years since his passing will be commemorated on November 29th, 2024.

The "Listen to 5 minutes of classical music" project has an uninterrupted history of 14 years in unconventional venues across the country. The first edition took place in October 2010 and since then, every day during the months of March and October, the public has had the chance to discover or rediscover the great classical music operas in unexpected places, auditions that were positively received by both customers and employees of the project partners. As part of the same project, concerts with Romanian musicians have been organized over the years, which have been a great success with the public.

More information about this campaign can be found at www.romania-muzical.ro/5minute, where you can listen to the proposed works in unconventional places.

The project is also a national programme in Romanian schools. Both teachers and students are invited to join this initiative, information being available on the project's website www.romania-muzical.ro/5minute.
