At the end of last month we celebrated 92 years since the first concert of The National Radio Orchestra was broadcasted.

On the 30^th of November 1928, the public sitting in front of a radio witnessed the inauguration of the first season (live!) of symphonic concerts in our country. This first concert held by The Radio Orchestra let by the composer and conductor MihailJora was practically the foundation act of The Symphonic Radio Orchestra (today The National Radio Orchestra). Since then, through its entire concert activity, The National Radio Orchestra has been unceasingly promoting both the Romanian musical creation and the reference work of the universal musical culture.

Even some short excerpts from the artistic biography of the conductor HoriaAndreescudemonstrates the tremendous contribution of the reputable artist to the development of the Romanian musical life: artistic director and chief conductor, for many years, of Orchestras and Radio Choirs, main conductor and vice-general director of the "George Enescu" Philharmonic, founder and director of the "Virtuozii din București" Chamber Orchestra and the "Sinfonietta"Youth Orchestra, Horia Andreescu had at the same time bolaborations with famous orchestras of the world. His career as a conductor includes three posts of permanent guest conductor in The Symphonic Radio Orchestra from Berlin, The Philharmonic from Dresda and Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle Schwerin.

After his debut as conductor in the United States of America, at the Symphonic Orchestra from Philadelphia, CristianMăcelaruconsolidated his ascension in Europe as well, through collaborations with the Philharmonic from Berlin, The Concertgebouw Royal Orchestra from Amsterdam and through his 2019 debut at the BBC Proms Festival in London. In the same year he conducts The Concertgebouw Royal Orchestra and in Bucharest, at The "George Enescu" Festival. Once the 2019-2020season started, Cristian Măcelaru took over the Symphonic Radio Orchestra from Köln as main conductor, and starting with the 2021-2022 season he will take over the Musical Director of the National Orchestra of France post as well.
