On Richard Strauss' 150^th anniversary, in the year dedicated to him, the Romanian Radio National Orchestra invites you to attend on Friday, March 21^st, at 19:00, the Radio Hall concert where you will be able to listen to a spectacular and distinct music score of the celebrated German artist, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The symphony poem is inspired from the philosophical novel with the same name by Friedrich Nietzsche, which deals with divinity controversy in a new way for that era, also containing the well-known parable 'the death of God'.

As he has been highly acclaimed by the audience of the Sophia Philharmonic Orchestra for conducting this composition on February 20^th, it is now the Romanian audience's turn to appreciate the musical directing of Tiberiu Soare, the main conductor of the Romanian Radio Orchestras and Choirs.

During the evening's programme you will also be able to listen to Le Carnaval Romain overture by Hector Berlioz, French Romantic composer, and Piano Concerto No.1 in E flat by Liszt, performed for the first time in Weimar in 1855, with the composer himself as a soloist and Hector Berlioz as a conductor!

At the Radio Hall, the soloist whom you will applaud will be the much awarded Răzvan Dragnea.
