Each edition of the anniversary concert brought the most valuable musicians of the moment and grand orchestras on the stage of the Romanian Athenaeum, in support of young Romanian artists. The gala evenings showed a remarkable attendance: more than 800 guests, members of the Royal Families, members of the Diplomatic Corps, Romanian officials, cultural and business figures, the sponsorships and supporters of the Foundation, and a successful media coverage.
